From The Publisher:
Firebirds is more than simply an anthology - it is a celebration of wonderful writing. It gathers together sixteen original stories by some of today's finest writers of fantasy and science fiction. Together, they have won virtually every major prize - from the National Book Award to the World Fantasy Award to the Newbery Medal - and have made best-seller lists worldwide. These authors, including Lloyd Alexander ( The Chronicles of Prydain ), Diana Wynne Jones ( The Merlin Conspiracy ), Garth Nix ( The Abhorsen Trilogy ), Patricia A. McKillip ( Ombria in Shadow ), Meredith Ann Pierce ( The Darkangel Trilogy ), and Nancy Farmer ( The House of the Scorpion ), each with his or her own inimitable style, tell stories that will entertain, provoke, startle, amuse, and resonate long after the last page has been turned.
