Dance of the Fairies. Tales from the Twilight World

Fairies or similar beings can be found in almost every culture in the world. Benevolent and horrifying, charming and outrageous, they change forms from country to country, from story to story, and from moment to moment, without changing their essence.... The celebrated anthology compilers Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have gathered under one cover the best creators of fantastic stories and poems, who draw on the great wealth of world 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.
