The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night: an enchanting collection of modern fairy tales

'Full of character and magic. I found myself mesmerised.'
Claire Fuller

Stories of family and magic, lost souls and superstition.
Spirits in jam jars, mini-apocalypses, animal hearts and side shows.

Mermaids are on display at the local aquarium.
A girl runs a coffin hotel on a remote island.
And a couple are rewriting the history of the world in the middle of the night.

'Interwoven with myth and fairy tale, these stories are surprising, delightful, by turns dangerous and joyful, like walking through a mirror' Rachel Joyce
