Dedication:

To my daughter Morgan, who in her identity of 'Superlady' has defeated more 'Daddy Monsters From the Swamp', than any other superhero. With thanks to: Kelly Hale, obviously and most heartily. Watch her kiddies: she can write. To everyone who's helped or suggested something I've ignored. With acknowledgements to - spot them if you can - the worlds of Grimm, Tolkien, Baum, ER Eddison and Richmal Crompton, not necessarily in that order.

- SBJ

For Jackie, petting bumblebees in heaven

Thanks to my mother and family for always being there even when I wasn't 'all there', and to Simon, my son, who has lived with a writer all his life, poor thing. Hello to my man in Stari Grad, Sheaphan for listening. Thanks for Bob's Harem for happily embracing whatever I'm working on and helping to make it better, and to the advisory committee - pussycat boy Paul Dale Smith, 'No Pyjamas' Henry Potts, and the Yanks - God bless America - Jonathan Dennis and Ian McIntire. Also Mark Rushford and Amsel Zivkovich for the cheering. And to Women Writing Who workshop (do it again!). But mostly, thanks to the Impeccable One.

- Kelly Hale

TARDIS: ...something was stirring in the trees above the TARDIS. The thick trunk of an oak began to bulge and strain outwards with a brittle creaking, forming a gall of timber. This wooden sac grew rapidly, showering the TARDIS's sloping roof with flecks of bark.

There is a world where wishes can come true. Where any simpleton can become a king and any scullery maid might be a princess in disguise. Kindness and virtue are rewarded, and the wicked are made to dance in red-hot shoes until they die. But a witches oven will cook both the virtuous and the wicked alike, and many a frog-prince is crushed beneath the wheels of a cart before he gets that magic kiss.

This world has its own rules and it doesn't care that a certain Doctor Know-All and his friends don't know them.

Now other outsiders have come to the world - traders from the stars seeking the treasures that fell from the rip in the sky. There are riddles to be solved, contests to win, flax to spin. The world to survive.

But the World of Wishes is itself in danger from a race of beings with only one wish. And there is a Princess asleep, and a beast awake - and Giants.
