Tales of Wonder - Softcover

Just beyond the boundaries of the imagination lies a country of the mind which requires a guide. The best such guides achieve celebrity. A few become legends. Of this small number, one is Jane Yolen.
TALES OF WONDER is a collection of enchanting pieces from a masterful teller of tales and maker of myths. From the mysterious and magical worlds of DRAGON'S BLOOD and CARDS OF GRIEF, from the realms of faerie, from the doom-laden environs of ancient myth and the problematic universe of modem science fiction come stories of warmth, of charm, at once original and reassuringly familiar. These are tales to delight the connoisseur and to satisfy the most exacting.
"Most of the great makers of (fables) are unknown to us and will always be unknown to us. Of those whose names are known, I can think of only four. Of these, only one is a living writer: Jane Yolen. In a better world, we shall hear her tales, with Oscar Wilde's, Hans Christian Andersen's, and Charles Perrault's, over a winter's evening of ten thousand years". Gene Wolfe
