In a way\, this is most of our stories.” In this startlingly original essay collection\, Urquhart reveals the truths that underlie our imaginings: what we see in our heads when we read\, how the sight of a ghost can heal\, how the entrance to the underworld can be glimpsed in an oil painting or a winter storm—or the onset of a loved one’s dementia. In essays on death and dying\, pregnancy and prenatal genetics\, radioactivity\, chimeras\, cottagers\, and plague\, Ordinary Wonder Tales reveals the essential truth: if you let yourself look closely\, there is magic in the everyday. \nABOUT EMILY URQUHART \nEmily Urquhart is the author of three books of nonfiction including the essay collection\, Ordinary Wonder Tales\, a finalist for the 2023 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction. She has a background in journalism and a doctorate in folklore and draws on both in her writing. She is a five-time National Magazine Award nominee for her journalistic work and has won gold and silver. She lives in Kitchener\, Ontario with her husband and two children where she is a nonfiction editor for The New Quarterly and teaches creative writing and science communication at the University of Waterloo.
