Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome masters of all things fairy tale and fantasy-filled, GREGORY MAGUIRE and KELLY LINK, for a discussion of Maguire's Tales Told in Oz and Link's Stone Animals.

With Tales Told in Oz, the author of the bestselling The Wicked Years series returns to Oz with a final compendium of folktales. Maguire's trademark wit and dizzyingly inventive imagination are on display in this slender volume, which features five original tales. "[Maguire] brings a literary commonplace to booming, three-dimensional life."— The New York Times

In Stone Animals, a family moves into a house, a possibly haunted house, and the rabbits on the front porch stir and come to life. This special edition of Kelly Link’s ‘Stone Animals’ comes with a letterpressed cover and interior illustrations by a number of authors, artists, critics, and fans, including Lev Grossman, Daniel Handler, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audrey Niffenegger, Tao Nyeu, Arthur Phillips, and Lane Smith. "The exact best and strangest and funniest short story writer on earth."— Jonathan Lethem

Proceeds from Tales Told in Oz to benefit The Friends of West Hartford Library.

Proceeds from Stone Animals to benefit The Fistula Foundation.
