Wonders of the Invisible World is a collection of fantasy short stories by Patricia A. McKillip.
The book collects sixteen novellas, novelettes and short stories by the author, all originally published in anthologies, together with one speech and an introduction by Charles de Lint.
Calling McKillip an "[e]ndlessly astonishing and impressive fantasist" in a starred review of the collection, Publishers Weekly writes that the author "travels the shadowy twilight realm between worlds and returns with the raw stuff of dreams.
Reshaping ancient archetypes to show us hidden aspects of ourselves and the world around us, these modern myths are timely and timeless, retaining the cosmic resonance of folklore while addressing the struggles embodied in achingly realized spirits, gods, and humans who endure tragic flaws and sudden epiphanies".
She observes that "[t]he text of her Guest of Honor speech as WisCon 2004 ... offers valuable insight into themind of the writer".
