"A balanced and pleasing introduction to the genre".--School Library Journal. "Do you believe in magic? If you don't, you will. If you do, you're more than halfway there. For this collection is overflowing with everything mystical, magical, fantastic, and unbelievable. There's Caliph Arenschadd who has a nasty habit of putting curses on everyone. Why doesn't someone put a curse on him? Hmm...Not a bad idea... And what of the fairy that Harlyn found? Of course no one believed that she'd actually seen a fairy--Harlyn hardly believed it herself. Until the war in the backyard... Does anyone remember Brion? He'd died long ago, but something was keeping him from staying that way... There's lots more. A story for everyone who knows that nothing is as it seems." (From the back of the book)
