The Summer Tree is the first of the three books. Five friends from Toronto, David, Kim, Jennifer, Kevin and Paul, are invited to a celebration in Fionavar, the first world, that is full of Magic and wonders. There they soon realise that everything is not as cheerful and easy as they thought as there's an impending doom hanging over the world. The five friends soon come to face serious dilemmas that will affect not only their fate but the fate of all worlds. All residents of Fionavar, dwarves, elves and humans are called to face the Unraveller and his armies of foul creatures.

Trumps of Doom is the first book in the second Chronicles of Amber series and the sixth book overall. Whereas the first series was narrated by Corwin, this series is narrated by his son, Merlin, born of Dara, holy terror of the Courts of Chaos. Merle Corey's got several problems. He's secretly Merlin, a Prince of Amber. His father Corwin has been missing for years. Oh, and someone tries to kill him every April 30th for reasons unknown. Trumps of Doom won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 1986.

A unique novel of parents and children - and the spaces between them Dr. Niels Berners - a Swiss plastic surgeon living in New York - is struggling to recover from his dysfunctional son's abandonment of him. He joins a group of four other parents, all with absent children either in jail or in jeopardy, to discuss their feelings and seek a sense of community, comfort, and closure. Hortense Calisher artfully strings together tales of healing, brilliantly tracing the shadow of the generational gap. With compassion and precision, she paints the bruised egos of concerned parents confronting very empty nests.
