ELLEN KLAGES
reading & booksigning for "Portable Childhoods"

"Portable Childhoods" is short fiction that offers a tantalizing
glimpse of what lies hidden just beyond the ordinary. Ellen Klages'
new collection - which includes the Nebula Award winning "Basement
Magic" - has been described by critics as "timeless," "delightful,"
"chilling," and "beautiful." "Ellen Klages believes books can be
magic, and now she's delivered the proof." - Connie Willis

Ellen Klages is the author of "The Green Glass Sea," which won the
Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction. Her Nebula Award-winning
