From the author of
Shoeless Joe-the basis for the film
Field of Dreams-come baseball stories that capture the magic and wonder of the game.
No one can write about baseball with the same brilliant combination of mysticism and realism as W.P. Kinsella. Lovers of the game and lovers of fine writing will thrill at the range and depth of the eleven stories that make up this collection.
From the magical conspiracy of the title story, to the celestial prediction in "The Last Pennant Before Armageddon," to the desolation of "The Baseball Spur," Kinsella explores the world of baseball and makes it, miraculously, a microcosm of the human condition.

Calgary Sun
"[Kinsella] uses baseball... As a familiar starting place for exploring, with pinpoint control, the human psyche." -
Booklist
"Stories that read like lightning and tantalize the reader with fascinating scenarios." -
