It’s not strictly fantasy, but mysteries happening to regular people in a world otherwise exactly like ours. Goodreads lists it as a Polish edition of A Small Pinch of Weather, but it’s not precise, Polish version lacks some stories from this collection while including some from A Harp of Fishbones and Other Stories. Older cousin gave me Hobbit when I was… about ten, I believe, but one of the most beloved books of my early childhood, book that sparked my interest in supernatural fiction, was A Room Full of Leaves, an anthology of short stories by Joan Aiken. I’m the book-craziest one, but only by a few degrees.įantasy, though, that was something new. High brow, but also crime stories, thrillers… Grandma read French romances in original, Grandpa received boxes full of Chandler, Le Carre and Clancy paperbacks from his brother lucky enough to get to Canada after the War had ended. Generations of readers, a few volumes in family for a hundred years, nothing special, but nothing to be ashamed of. My love of reading does not distinguish me from the rest of my family.
