"I used to hate that cavorting, head-standing boy, and think he was little better than a monkey -- but I felt envious of him, too, when the sun shined down upon him: for he seemed so free and independent, and he was so active and clever . . . while whenever I, myself, tried to stand on my head, I always tipped right over and hurt my back." In the middle 1830s, a young orphan is taken in by a kindly market gardener who teaches the boy the ways of plants, crops and harvests. Grant Dennison grows to love the garden; and he can look forward to travel to London, to give him view of the wider world . . . yet there is another presence in his new life, one who gives him much to ponder and puzzle upon: a boy named Shock, who seems almost a wild creature, living by his wits in the dirty streets, and scrounging out his meager -- but joyous -- existence. George Manville Fenn (1831-1909), popular English writer of tales for younger readers, offers a tale of 19th-century England in "Brownsmith's Boy, A Romance in a Garden."

When the newly-promoted Sergeant Crystal Lewis and her military team loop to a parallel world, they discover a London very different to those their agency have investigated elsewhere. Steam powered ships fill the sky, metal creatures scurry through the streets, and the Great Library is now nothing more than a burnt out shell; the history, knowledge and literature of the world has been destroyed. Crystal's investigations discover the records of the Scriptorians: elite explorers, scientists and chroniclers, chosen for their wordsmith abilities, their tenacious belief in uncovering the truth, their passion for the bizarre and baffling. There is some evidence that these mysterious adventurers, fighters and writers also discovered the technology to loop and visit other parallel worlds. Here are some of their tales... Zoë Harris offers us a vision of feminism taken to extremes, while Ken Dawson has the epitome of the pushy parent at the heart of his story; Jake Finlay's and Ross Kitson's stories are concerned with moral dilemmas in research and medicine and both consider the nature of immortality; Steven J. Guscott gives a novel twist to the Frankenstein story; David Muir's central character is an apparently immortal warrior; on lighter note, Paul Freeman gives us a hero easily swayed by a pretty face and adventue, and Robert Peett shows a world of strange invasions, infections and mutations, and at the end, Sammy H.K Smith shows how it all began with the daring Lady Pippa Raven - the first true Scriptorian.
