Not all the stories in this collection are stand-outs, and not all, thankfully, have to do with brides. Datlow and Windling, however, should get a huge round of applause and much credit for bringing back the female beast and male looker instead of just staying to the whole typical Beauty and the Be...
Being an anthology there's something for everyone in here. While several of the stories are very typical Western/British faeries, there are plenty of stories that take fairie-like creatures from other cultural lore and form stories around them, ranging from Japanese, Brazilian, Filipino... It was a ...
Uno de los primeros audiolibros que puedo escuchar de principio a fin. Confieso que llegué a él por ciertos autores, pero me llevé una grata sorpresa con el resto.

Every anthology is a mixed bag, especially when the stories are collected from many authors. Luckily, this is a very nice mix overall.

I skimmed the preface, intro. and the poem by Charles De Lint. Sorry, poetry just isn't for and because my reading time is so sparse and this book is such a tome I wanted to get straight to the stories.Catnyp by Delia Sherman: I loved this one about a human child kidnapped by the faery, renamed Ne...
I’ve always been in love with fairytales so I just had to have this book. I practically heard it calling me from the bookshelf of one of my favorite bookstores. LOL.I loved the variety of faerie culture that this book has offered and I enjoyed reading different tales about the Fair Folk.I can’t say ...
