A fantasist without equal, Patricia A. McKillip has created worlds of intricate beauty and unforgettably nuanced characters. For 25 years, she's drawn readers into her spell, spinning modern-day fables with a grace rarely seen. Now she presents a book of previously uncollected short stories, full of beautiful dragons, rueful princesses, and handsome bards, and written in the gorgeous--and often surprisingly funny--prose she's known for. This is her world, wrapped up in the finery of fairy tales.

This did not really work for me. As much as Patricia McKillip is a master of style, here half the stories simply lost their sense and meaning to that very style. Sure, there are still good one - like Lady of the Skull or The Witches of Junket - but all in all, that was a meh experience for me.
