    These seven fantastical stories will take you on unforgettable journeys. An octopus hot on the trail of a pair of unlikely criminals. An island where gargoyles fly to spend their holidays, while on another island the resident ghosts are puzzled my the mystery of the missing stone woman. An alien social researcher is left to cope with an unexpected problem of scale, while a travelling trader desperate for a decent cup of tea finds that nothing that simple is ever easy, even with the help of magic. And a young girl's Christmas wish is granted by someone who definitely isn't Santa Claus. These bizarre yet heart-warming fantasy stories are perfect feel-good reading.
