Fairy Dance: Tales of the Twilight World

Fairies or similar beings can be found in almost every culture around the world. Kind and terrifying, charming and outrageous, they change form from country to country, from story to story, and from moment to moment, without changing their essence. The renowned anthology compilers Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have gathered under one cover the best creators of fantastic tales and poems, who draw on the greatest wealth of global knowledge about fairies and classic works about them: Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Charles de Lint, Patricia A. McKillip, Tanith Lee, and many others. Ideologically continuing another anthology by Datlow and Windling — The Green Knight, — which became a winner of the World Fantasy Award, this book is bold, provocative, and utterly magical. Just like the fairies themselves.
