Hidden Turnings

Style: Good

Attitude: Unobjectionable

Author: Diana Wynne Jones

Age Range: Pre Teens+

Period: Various

Genres:  FantasyShort


Synopsis:

A set of short stories by several contemporary authors, mostly in the SciFi/Fantasy mould.

Notes:

The stories are only mediocre for the most part, unexpectedly since the authors are well-known writers of the genre, although not all for children. There is one (“The Vision”) concerning a West Country Benedictine monk of the Middle Ages who has a vision of the Glastonbury Rock Festival of the 1980s which might have been better left out. This is partly because it's a fairly poorly written story, whose denouement becomes obvious fairly early, and partly because of the slight digs it makes at the religious life.
