Contains The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, which I enjoyed and remember 35 years on. ( ) The Custodians: novella about a monastery where a strange "observatory" has been created that allows users to see into the future. This is a tragic tale that seems to play with Cowper's interest in the linkages between past, present, and future and the interplay of predestination with free will. Well written and intriguing. Piper at the Gates of Dawn: novella that sets up the world Cowper created for his "White Bird of Kinship" trilogy. Already reviewed as part of _The Road to Corlay_. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"The Custodians "tells of a visitor to a French monastery, and of one specially built tiny room which is constructed precisely on the intersection of mysterious force fields, so that anyone who enters is able to foresee the future. "Paradise Beach" is the story of a wall-screen whose image of the sea attunes itself to the individual perceptions of the onlooker. "Piper at the Gates of Dawn "is set towards the end of the next millennium when the stories about the coming of the mysterious white bird of kinship become associated with the travels of an old story-teller and his young nephew, whose pipe seems to have a magical quality. Finally, "The Hertford Manuscript" tells of the remarkable discovery of a seventeenth-century book with some pages purporting to be the journals of a nineteenth-century time traveller.
