'Award-winning literary fiction author Rosanne Dingli follows the success of The Astronomer’s Pig and Counting Churches – The Malta Stories with another volume. Read fourteen atmospheric stories crammed with exotic ingredients and locations, which engage and somehow ring with the familiar and the unexpected. Historical fiction, folkloric tales, and anecdotes linked strongly with their location are this author's favourite forays into storytelling. Each short story or novella has indelible links with the facts that form its base and background' (publisher's blurb).
The collection comprises all the stories published in Vision or Delusion (2010) and Over and Above (2011) - both out of print.
