The Magic Fishbone is a funny story by Charles Dickens, an English writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. It is included in Shirley Temple's Storybook which is an American children's anthology series hosted and narrated by actress Shirley Temple and appeared in the fourth book, Shirley Temple's Favorite Tales Of Long Ago which was illustrated and published by Random House in 1958. This is the extraordinary story of a very nearly ordinary princess named Alicia. Given a magic fish-bone by a good fairy, Alicia can have whatever she wishes-provided she wishes for it at the right time. But it's never clear when the right time is, and sometimes the best magic is no magic at all…. This funny and unexpectedly impressive tale reveals a Victorian world that existed nowhere but in the mind of a child.

In 1982, before Matheson had fully achieved the cult-and-grandmaster status that he enjoys today, Playboy Press published a version of his erotic ghost story that was so severely edited that Matheson took his name off the book and instead published it under the name Logan Swanson.In this restored version of the original manuscript, David and Ellen Cooper's 21-year-old marriage is nearing the rocks, so they decide to leave Los Angeles for a honeymoon and go to Long Island. Soon after they arrive at their beach cottage, a strange woman, Marianna, appears to David, and he is immediately entranced.

24岁的奕，简单、自由、独立，从法学院毕业，通过纽约州的律师资格考试，在曼哈顿一家律师事务所找到第一份工作。同年夏末，她和34岁的富家子莱尔·奥尔顿在一个酒会上邂逅相识。两个不同母语，不同国籍，不同年龄，不同阶层，不同经历的人，从游戏到认真，相爱却不相知。他们因为奕的意外怀孕而结婚，很快又因为生活中的种种冲突而分手。离婚之后，两人在抚育女儿的过程中逐渐磨合，相互了解，开始尝试为共同生活而改变。正如书里的结束语说得那样：我不知道我们会走到哪里，也不确定自己想要的究竟是什么。可能我们还是不合适，可能这段新的关系一样会结束。到那个时候，我们之间或许就真的了结了。就是这样的，是一种深深的无奈。

飞机，游戏，猫，与一墙之隔的你。缘分就是如此不可思议，让我们系在一起。
