Small Change : The Complete Trilogy: Farthing, Ha'penny, Half a Crown by Jo Walton, J. Bradford de Long
Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure.
In 1941 the European war ended in the Farthing Peace, a rapprochement between Britain and Nazi Germany. The balls and banquets of Britain’s upper classes never faltered, while British ships ferried “undesirables” across the Channel to board the cattle cars headed east.
In three brilliant novels set between the late 1940s and the early 1960s of this alternate world, Jo Walton explores how a free society can become an unfree one, how easily traditional powers-that-be can accommodate themselves to tyranny, and what a difference a few courageous men and women can make. Alternately charming, heartstopping, and astonishingly deft, this trilogy is a work of total relevance to our modern age.
This new Tor Essentials edition of the Small Change trilogy includes a new introduction by J. Bradford de Long, author of Slouching Toward Utopia and one-time Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Praise for this book
“If le Carré scares you, try Jo Walton. Of course her brilliant story of a democracy selling itself out to fascism sixty years ago is just a mystery, just a thriller, just a fantasy—of course we know nothing like that could happen now. Don’t we?” —Ursula K. Le Guin on Farthing
“Walton’s use of a common genre template—this time, the race-against-time thriller—allows her to develop the eerily contemporary underpinnings of her alternate history...Gives us much to think about regarding her world and out own.” —Sarah Weinman, The Los Angles Times, on Ha’penny
“Walton’s understated prose and deft characterizations elevate this above similar works such as Fatherland and SS-GB.” —Publishers Weekly on Half a Crown
About the AuthorJo Walton won the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 2012 for her novel Among Others, and the James Tiptree, Jr. Memorial Award in 2015 for My Real Children. Before that, she won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2002, and her novel Tooth and Claw won the World Fantasy Award in 2004. Her more recent novels include the Thessaly trilogy (The Just City, The Philosopher Kings, and Necessity), Lent, and Or What You Will. A native of Wales, she lives in Montreal.
