Joan Aiken's stories captivated readers for fifty years. They're funny, smart, gentle, and occasionally very, very scary. The stories in *The Monkey's Wedding* are collected here for the very first time and include six never before published, as well as two previously published under the pseudonym Nicholas Dee. Here you'll find the story of a village for sale... or is the village itself the story? There's an English vicar who declares on his deathbed that he might have lived an entirely different life. After his death, a large, black, argumentative cat makes an appearance... This hugely imaginative collection includes introductions by Aiken as well as by her daughter, Lizza Aiken.Best known for *The Wolves of Willoughby Chase*, **Joan Aiken** (1924-2004) wrote over a hundred books and won the *Guardian* and Edgar Allan Poe awards. After her first husband's death, she supported her family by copyediting at *Argosy* magazine and an advertising agency before turning to fiction. She went on to write for *Vogue*, *Good Housekeeping*, *Vanity Fair*, *Argosy*, *Women's Own*, and many others. Visit her online at: [www.joanaiken.com]( ).Wörter : 63162

A mermaid too many
Reading in bed
Model wife
Second thoughts
Girl in a whirl
Hair
Red-hot favourite
Spur of the moment
The paper queen
Octopi in the sky
The magnesia tree
Honeymaroon
Harp music
The sale of midsummer
The helper
The monkey's wedding
Wee Robin
The fluttering thing
Water of youth.
