"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."

Reviews for Small Change: The Complete Trilogy: Farthing, Ha'penny, Half a Crown

"""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"
