Magic: New Stories Gil McNeil 9780747557463 [USED COPY]

Eighteen of Britain's most exciting authors have written brand new stories especially for this spellbinding collection: Andrea Ashworth, Kate Atkinson, Celia Brayfield, Christopher Brookmyre, Lewis Davies, Isla Dewar, Emma Donoghue, Maeve Haran, Joanne Harris, Jackie Kay, Gil McNeil, John O'Farrell, Ben Okri, Michele Roberts, Meera Syal, Sue Townsend, Arabella Weir and Fay Weldon. Miracles, mystery, romance and humour - from Louisiana mud-swamps where enchantment is for sale to a bra-making workshop where dreams come true, this is British fiction at its fizziest, least predictable and best. The National Council recently launched its Magic Million Appeal, with the aim of raising one million pounds to fund services for single parents and their children so that they can get the help and support they need, when they need it. GBP1 will go straight to the charity with every copy sold of MAGIC.

MAGIC is a sparkling collection of new stories from the brightest and best of Britain's writers, with a foreward by J.K. Rowling and introduction from Sarah Brown. MAGIC will continue in the bestselling mould of GIRLS NIGHT IN, BOYS NIGHT OUT and Nick Hornby's SPEAKING WITH AN ANGEL. Will be accompanied by major publicity and marketing campaign.
