From her days as a child reader in the 1940s, through her time at Harvard, where she studied the Victorian ancestors of the form, and later as a writer and reviewer, Margaret Atwood has always been fascinated with science fiction. Here she brings together three Ellmann lectures: `Flying Rabbits` begins with her early rabbit superhero creations, and goes on to speculate about masks, capes, weakling alter egos and Things with Wings; `Burning Bushes` travels into Victorian otherlands and beyond; and `Dire Cartographies` investigates Utopias and Dystopias, including Atwood`s own ventures into those constructions. In further essays Atwood explores and critiques the form, and elucidates the differences - as she sees them - between `science...

In Search of England is an unapologetic love story, a paean of praise for all the fascinating variety and flavour of England`s places and people.

Art, reality and the strange ways the two imitate one another are at the core of Muriel Spark`s delightful Loitering with Intent, first published in 1981. Would-be novelist Fleur Talbot works for the snooty, irascible Sir Quentin Oliver at the Autobiographical Association, whose members are all at work on their memoirs. When her employer gets his hands on Fleur`s novel-in-progress, mayhem ensues when its scenes begin coming true. Generating hilarious turns of phrase and larger-than-life characters (especially Sir Quentin`s batty mother), Spark`s inimitable style make this literary joyride thoroughly appealing.
