1 y separately published work icon An Eclectic Collection of Stuff and Things Edwina Harvey , Maroubra : Peggy Bright Books , 2017 12047512 2017 selected work short story

'Edwina Harvey's short fiction embraces the everyday, the faraway, the otherworldly. The 'stuff' in these stories ranges from the quest for mythical gold or the exploration of far-flung vistas of the Galaxy to the desire to simply enjoy the sunshine, while the 'things' may have wings, fangs, horns, or a variable number of limbs.

'(The 'things', of course, are also people.)

'The earliest of these stories were first published over three decades ago, while the most recent are new to this volume.'
