What if your strangest dreams and wildest imaginings turned out to be . . . well . . . true?
In this riveting collection, master storyteller Diana Wynne Jones presents wildly unpredictable tales in which even the most routine lives are visited by extraordinary events:
- A writer's character infiltrates her computer and makes her an accomplice in his cyber revolt
- A sick girl's drawings come to life -- with a vengeance
- A vet's dream about a wounded werewolf is interrupted by a startling phone call
- A cat tells how the kindhearted wizard she owns is suddenly called upon to defeat a horrific Beast
These fifteen stories and one novella -- including three works never before published in the United States -- will tickle and enchant, startle and surprise.

There's been an accident!
Something's wrong!She doesn't know who she is, and doesn't know why she's invisibly floating through the buildings and grounds of a half-remembered boarding school. Then, to her horror, she encounters the ancient evil that four peculiar sisters have unwittingly woken -- and learns she is their only hope against a deadly danger.

Heather's parents are the caretakers of the stately home Castlemaine, and Heather would love living there -- if it weren't for the tourists. Every summer they invade Castlemaine, and one day they even trample into all of her secret quiet spots. The only one left is a peculiar little mound that the villagers say is the grave of Wild Robert, a legendary magician who lived 350 years ago. When Heather cries out for Wild Robert to use his magical powers on the tourists, she never expects a handsome young man to appear right in front of her. She never expects all the mischief he causes, either! Will Castlemaine ever be the same once Wild Robert has returned?
This novel for young readers is full of Diana Wynne Jones's signature humor, inventiveness, and charm.
