Ea, master of Apsu, the great water beneath the earth; Gelert, the faithful hound; Medusa and Herakles; sirens, valkyries, fairies; Leonardo Da Vinci and Snow White - these are just some of the legendary characters that resonate within this thought-provoking garland of short stories from Australia. Archetypes from ancient mythology, lurking in the depths of our psyches, peer at us through the haze of history; cautionary tales from our nursery years remind us of what can happen when we disobey The Rules; well known themes of obsession, betrayal and exploitation, love and loss and renewal are skillfully manipulated into new and compelling forms. From the lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek, to the sad and the sinister, this selection of tales with their clever mythic echoes, is sure to entertain, enlighten and challenge readers of all ages.

Contributors include: Sue Hammond, Amanda Greenslade, Linda Stewart, Astrid Cooper and Jennie Kremmer .

Contributing Authors: NA Sulway, Alan Baxter, Paul Freeman, Donna Maree Hanson, Leo Zigomartis, Stephen Gepp, Vivky Dado, Jen White, Tom Williams, Kelly Dillon, Nigel Read and Sue Bursztynski. All the stories have their bases in myth, legend folklore or fairy tales.
