Fairy tales that express the secret losses and anxieties of their tellers. These are the elements that Steven Millhauser employs to such marvelous-and often disquieting-effect in Little Kingdoms.In \"The Little Kingdom of J. Franklin Payne,\" a gentle eccentric constructs an elaborate alternate universe that is all the more appealing for being transparently unreal. \"The Princess, the Dwarf, and the Dungeon\" is at once a gothic tale of nightmarish jealousy and a meditation on the human need for exaltation and horror. And \"Catalogue of the Exhibition\" introduces us to the oeuvre of Edmund Moorash, a Romantic painter who might have been imagined by Nabokov or Poe. Exuberantly inventive, as mysterious as dreams, these novellas will delight, mesmerize, and transport anyone who reads them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934808506656,"sku":"NEW0375701435","price":16.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71ZRalWe8EL.jpg?v=1783017921","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/little-kingdoms-vintage-contemporaries-0375701435","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
