The tales collected here in beautiful hardcover represent the essence of the storyteller's art, with its ancient roots in fantastical legends and tales told around a fire. As Scheherezade proved long ago, good stories make the best bedtime entertainment. In Bedtime Stories , great writers of the past two centuries explore the boundaries between the real and the unreal, between waking and dreaming. From the surreal night visions of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" to the unspeakable horror that haunts two little girls in A. S. Byatt's "The Thing in the Forest," from Washington Irving's comical "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" to Ursula K. LeGuin's sly perspective on Sleeping Beauty in "The Poacher," these spellbinding stories transform the stuff of fables and fairy tales into high art. Isak Dinesen, Vladimir Nabokov, Angela Carter, Julio Cort???zar, Steven Millhauser, Neil Gaiman, Haruki Murakami, and many others mingle their voices in this one-volume gateway to dreams--the perfect bedside companion for fiction lovers everywhere. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
