    About this ebook

    What would you do if you found out that your two little children were terminally ill? Would you try to save them anyways? But what if they were doomed to turn into grindylows?

    There are worlds where all of this does happen. These are the worlds of an alternative Catholicism, the worlds without television and airplanes, but with dirigibles and telephones. These are the worlds where the Roman Empire still exists, and Christianity has an incontestable proof of the existence of God and of the New Testament events.

    Miracles still happen in these worlds, but do they change the essence of Christianity?

    Two stories that you find under the cover are told on behalf of Horace Pulvill.

      When I saw the bush, I could hardly contain my delight. It rose from the grainy sweep of sand before me like a towering will-o’-thewisp, part-fern, part-wishful phantasm. Shade pooled from its roots in delicious, wasteful abandon. Could it be real? F
