All of these stories are captivating. As soon as I was through, I reread them again, then read again the ones I liked the most. They are, in order, excellent, tense, strange, riveting, warm. Wonderful characters with the continuing theme makes for excellent reading. A real keeper.

NAL leads off with a very special treat from the superb Edith Layton, who collects five loosely related short stories under the umbrella title, A Love for All Seasons (4+). All the stories are highly original, both in character and thematic material, but "Autumn Leaves" in particular is sheer magic. This absolutely marvelous reading experience belongs in a place of honor on everyone's bookshelf.
