From the author of Shoeless Joe--the basis for the film Field of Dreams--come baseball stories that define "a world in which magic and reality combine" (The New York Times).
Shortstops who run with the wolves, painted eggs that reveal deeply disturbing meanings, long-dead Hall of Famers who miraculously return to the game, an Iowa minor-league town with a secret conspiracy: these are the elements from which W. P. Kinsella weaves nine fabulous stories about the magical world of baseball.
From the dugouts, clubhouses, bedrooms, and barrooms to the interior worlds of hope and despair, these eerie stories present the absurdities of human relationships and reveal the writer's special genius for touching the heart.
"His short stories about baseball are wistful things of beauty which serve to remind us how the game should feel--the innate glory of a diamond etched in the minds of Americans." --Calgary Sun
"[Kinsella] uses baseball . . . as a familiar starting place for exploring, with pinpoint control, the human psyche." --Booklist
"Stories that read like lightning and tantalize the reader with fascinating scenarios." --Publishers Weekly
