Synopsis
This &“wondrous&” collection of fantasy tales from Neil Gaiman, Patricia A. McKillip, and others &“is a treasure chest. Open it and revel in its riches&” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). For this enchanting anthology—a World Fantasy Award finalist—editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling &“asked their contributors to reimagine Fäerie&” in the present day, or &“search its more dimly lit pathways,&” and the authors have responded with bountiful imagination. The title piece is a poem by Neil Gaiman, but most of the others are longer pieces, &“like shards of stories you want to hear more of.&” Jeffrey Ford &“limns the heartbreaking tale&” of fairies who live in sandcastles built by young children; Ellen Steiber&’s &‘Screaming for Fairies&’ &“sketches the lineaments of desire.&” Bruce Glassco &“finds a different voice for Tinkerbell and Captain Hook in &‘Never Never.&’&” Tanith Lee&’s &‘Elvenbrood&’ tale is eerie and &“chilling.&” Gregory Maguire, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Patricia A. McKillip, and Emma Bull&’s stories all &“enchant&” and bewitch. Delia Sherman&’s &‘CATNYP&’ is &“both funny and deeply clever, warming the cockles of anyone who has ever had dealings with a research library, especially New York Public&’s&” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). This companion volume to The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest is &“a rewarding choice for those who like the traditional with a twist&” (Booklist).
