"In the title story, a boy living in the shadow of Cadbury Castle finds a desperate hope for occupied, war-torn Britain in the legends of an ancient time. 'Karl and the Ogre' paints a terrifying picture of a world where fairy tales and fantasy have become reality. 'The Airs of Earth' is a powerful story of the Golden -- immensely wealthy near-immortals living a cruel and decadent life relivivg Earth's past and playing sophisticatedly vicious games. Like several of the other stories, it is set in the same universe as Four Hundred Billion Stars , offering fascinating glimpses into McAuley's future history of Earth and the galaxy."
