Synopsis & covers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  This is the unforgettable world of Isobelle Carmody, presented in fourteen stories written over a period of thirteen years. Within these stories you will find paths travelled by seekers of the deepest truths never found on straight roads: here a princess might reject a prince to save a rooster, a boy searches for his truename, a group of pilgrims is led by a song and a beast discovers hope. Enter this world and you will never again be sure where reality ends and imagination begins, for sometimes the greatest truths can only be told through imagination... Isobelle Carmody was awarded the Aurealis Award for Excellence in Speculative Fiction for Best Young Adult Short Story for her story Green Monkey Dreams. |

Green Monkey Dreams review by Pizzagreen.
Now this book was first published back in 1996 by Penguin, and is actually a collection of 14 short stories, and I guarantee you that these are definitely some of the best, if not the best, short stories you will ever read (if I am wrong, I really want to know which short stories top them!)! Copies of this first print were highly prised, and until recently cost over $300 on ebay. So it was with great delight that in 2012 it was republished by Allen & Unwin, and is now available from their website...

"Green Monkey Dreams is a deeply unified collection, its stories linked together in complex and complementary ways. It contains humour, lyricism, breathcatching adventure and powerfully idiosyncratic narrative voices...the best kind of fantasy writing."
