|summary=I'll confess that it was the name of [[:Category:Andrea Camilleri|Andrea Camilleri]] which brought me to this book. I'm a long-time fan of his Inspector Montalbano series and a recent reading of a spin-off [[Montalbano's First Case by Andrea Camilleri|novella]] had proved to me that the concise nature of his full-length novels was no fluke. In ''Judges'' we had another novella - worth buying for its own sake - and the bonus of two more stories from better-than-decent Italian authors. All that was needed was a glass of wine and a comfortable chair. Did the book live up to expectation?

|summary=We should always make time for short stories. Especially if they are written by Margo Lanagan. In ''Yellowcake'', a traveller boy uses three items to reunite an old man with his memories. A boy with a crippled foot watches his townfolk butcher a beautiful creature washed up in their harbour. Rapunzel gets a makeover in which things turn out differently. We find out how the Ferryman of the Dead became the Ferrywoman. And more.
