Reviews

On Jun 22 2015, a reader said:

This book was a delight when I was a student back in 1962, and Wyndham's tales of lonely dragons and strangely talented monkeys stand the test of time. His characters are lively, his clever use of dialects puts the reader on the scene, and the stories always have a twist at the end. I recommend this book to lovers of the slightly surreal.
