Richard Seltzer 
Now and Then and Other Tales from Ome [EPUB ebook] 

30 black-and-white illustrations. Boston Globe — ‘A highly original collection of short stories — sometimes humorous, sometimes profound.’ Philadelphia Daily News — ‘Seltzer has produced four charming stories for, he suggests, children around the age of nine. Adults will find the book has its appeal too: My favorite story is the one about the little princess who had a nice mother and was very happy and therefore very unhappy because how could Prince Charming come and rescue her if there was nothing to rescue her from?’
