Award-winning children's author Mitali Perkins grew up steeped in stories - escaping into her books on the fire escape of a Flushing apartment building and, later, finding solace in them as she navigated between the cultures of her suburban California school and her Bengali heritage at home. Now Perkins invites us to explore the promise of seven timeless children's novels for adults living in uncertain times: stories that provide mirrors to our innermost selves and open windows to other worlds.

Diagnosed by her physician husband with a “temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency” after the birth of her child, a woman is urged to rest for the summer in an old colonial mansion. Forbidden from doing work of any kind, she spends her days in the house’s former nursery, with its barred windows, scratched floor, and peeling yellow wallpaper. In a private journal, the woman records her growing obsession with the “horrid” wallpaper. Its strange pattern mutates in the moonlight, revealing what appears to be a human figure in the design.

To survive and stay a step ahead of the competition during the Wild West years, entrepreneurs had to cheat. So, it was without compunction that one group of prospectors raised spirits of the dead to pinpoint the most profitable ore-bearing veins up for grabs in Colorado's gold rush. But during one incantation, they overstepped an unwritten rule, conjuring a demon that refused to go away.

In 1876, as Colorado awaits statehood, the greatest silver discovery in the western territories is up for grabs. A clique of Cornish wizards wants to prevent William Warden, seasoned investor and eminent Saxon sorcerer, from acquiring the ultra-lucrative vein. But what the adversaries do not realize is that a nomadic band of Native Americans, under an intrepid leader, She Speaks with the Gods, has already staked a claim. A thousand miles away, Warden’s wife, Esclarmonde, foresees the impending doom as the Cornish wizards and Indians join forces to destroy her husband.
