As an SF fan I am of course delighted that the very first tale in the collection is science fiction \"As Easy as A.B.C.\" the sequel to his \"With the Night Mail\" It also includes a depiction of hatred on the home front in \"Mary Postgate\" and contrasting humour in an extended revenge prank aimed at a whole town \"The Village that Voted the Earth was Flat\". One exceedingly mad tale made no sense the first three times I read it but became much (but not entirely) clearer when I discovered that the key unwritten word was witchcraft. However I will not give the title of that story so I don't entirely spoil it (Peter Dunn) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 254\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47412280688818,"sku":"9781636372839","price":46.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/94a964e2adec1decc7fbfe0f18287fa1.webp?v=1778318025","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/a-diversity-of-creatures-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
