Where Everyday Objects Tell Extraordinary StoriesBefore modern fantasy authors reinvented the genre,
Mary De Morgan captured the hearts of late-Victorian readers by weaving profound, beautifully written allegories. On a Pincushion strips away the formulaic cliches of older fables, introducing a universe where deep empathy, resilience, and curiosity are the ultimate magic.
The journey begins on a standard bedroom table, where three bickering pins pass the long night hours by trading magical tales. Readers are then swept into unforgettable stories like The Story of a Cat, Seeds of Love, and the hauntingly beautiful The Toy Princess—a striking story that serves as a brilliant critique of high-society expectations and artificial behavior.
Blending the poetic warmth of Hans Christian Andersen with her own distinct, progressive lens, De Morgan delivers a collection that sparkles with timeless emotional depth and endless creative charm.
