CheckoutWritten with a measured beauty that recalls Tolstoy and Tolkien, Clement's short stories are rich in allegory and infused with a thrill of expectancy.
It won’t take you long to see why Jane Tyson Clement’s short stories have become perennial favorites for adults and children alike. Written with a measured beauty that recalls Tolstoy and Tolkien, these tales are rich in allegorical symbolism and evocation of mood. They are infused throughout with the thrill of expectancy, a sense that something new is on the way, and a certainty that God is seeking us, just as we seek him. In an age where cleverness often counts more than substance, Clement’s stories offer a break from all the noise.

Do yourself a favor and spend fifteen minutes in one of these short stories. They are mysterious enough to pique curiosity, evocative, and generally entertaining. The stories vary enough in tone to keep you interested from one to the other, and overall they leave a lingering sense of hope and light rather than the dread and doom so many short stories evoke. It is good, rich literature.
