Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This short story is short listed for Hugo Awards. For me this is the winner. The genre is hard to define, for me it is neither SF nor fantasy but weird. A great poignant story set in a strange universe, inhabitants of which are wind-up toys. The world-building is awesome for such a short story. ( ) This is an interesting piece, set in a fairy-tale world where all the people are wind-up toys living in various parts of a house with a train running between them. It's sad, but sweet. Despite being a world of toys, the characters make very grown-up decisions and mistakes. (Also, I appreciated the casual inclusion of gay dads.) no reviews | add a review
