Synopsis

Six stories from some of the most famous names in fantasy-all with one commonthreat-'the fair folk.' From blithe fairies to sinister fey, some are fair, some are foul, all are fantastic.

In 'The Kelpie,' by Patricia A. McKillip, a carefree circle of bohemian artists is confronted by a being more powerful than any muse.

Jane Yolen and Midori Snyder weave a tale of two sisters long-exiled from their magical realm who must survive in ours, in 'Except the Queen.'

In Tanith Lee's 'UOUS,' a young woman with a rotten family is granted three wishes by a handsome elf-and learns that nothing good comes free of charge.

A hapless slob finds his world turned upside-down when an eager brownie moves in and proceeds to clean house, in Megan Lindholm's 'Grace Notes.'

Kim Newman introduces an intrepid government investigator whose latest case pits him against a sinister brood of fairy folk known as 'The Gypsies in the Wood.'

And the serenity of the Elves is tested in a wry fable of a long-suffering magical apprentice who can't catch a break, in Craig Shaw Gardner's 'The Embarrassment of Elves.
