Bringing together stories from earlier collections and material not previously available in the U.S., Pearce demonstrates her masterful delineation of a child-centered territory she has made particularly her own. The adult world is, in these stories, murky and puzzling; children glean, fossick, eavesdrop, and cobble together their own realities. These thirty-seven stories, published over six decades, are remarkably undated.
