Review

Kirkus Reviews, July 1, 2012:

Eighteen short tales about witches by some of the wickedest names in fantasy make for a rich anthology. . . . The writers are simply stellar: Ellen Kushner, Frances Hardinge, Charles de Lint, Tanith Lee, Ellen Klages and Holly Black, among others. Neil Gaimans contribution is a witchy, weird poem. Garth Nixs A Handful of Ashes features a library and librarian. Delia Shermans The Witch in the Woods is beautiful and romantic, with deer and bear shape-shifters and no small darkness. Jim Butcher has a Harry Dresden story (B is for Bigfoot), and its terrific. Jane Yolen makes Hans Christian Andersenslife a tale itself, and Patricia McKillips Which Witch makes loud music and crow magic elegantly. The best, however, may be Peter S. Beagles Great-Grandmother in the Cellar (yes, she is, and she goes back there, too, but not the way she came, in this "Sleeping Beauty" variant). Readers will find much to enjoy. . . .
