Firebirds: An Anthology of Original Fantasy and Science Fiction

(2) YA This anthology of new fantasy published specifically for the YA market is a strong collection. Several of the sixteen richly varied stories use traditional material as a springboard; others are entirely original. There are a few anomalies: Lloyd Alexander's tragicomic story is more social commentary than fantasy, and Elizabeth E. Wein's "Chasing the Wind"--one of the best stories in the collection--is entirely realistic.
