I ride this day upon the Worldroad, alone, except for Courage, who rides on the pommel of my saddle fluffing his feathers. I did not dream of journeying thus as a child...'<br/> This is the unforgettable world of Isobelle Carmody, presented in fourteen stories written over a period of thirteen years.<br/>Within it you will find roads of paradox on which an angel might be a torturer, or a princess might reject a prince to save a rooster. These are paths travelled by seekers of the difficult deepest truths never found on straight roads; here a boy searches for his truename, a group of pilgrims is led by a song on an ancient journey, and a beast discovers hope.<br/> Enter this world and you will never again be sure where reality ends and imagination begins, for sometimes the greatest truths can only be told through imagination...<br/> From one of Australia's finest writers of fantasy comes a stunning collection of stories full of provocative ideas and haunting images.<br/>
