Unexpected Magic: Collected Stories by Diana Wynne Jones

4.0

Delightful collection overall. The first story was not my favorite--a little too ordinary, almost a personal essay--but each successive tale showcased Jones' unlimited imagination and willingness to cross literary boundaries. Whether writing from the perspective of a cat, tormenting an obnoxious auntie with a mysteriously moving island, or combining high fantasy with science fiction (the short story "Dragon Reserve, Home Eight" was my favorite), a sly wit enhances each tale.
