The Beastly Bride: Tales of the Animal People

(3) YA Illustrated by Charles Vess. This anthology of imaginative short fiction and lyrical poetry about human-to-animal shape-shifters features original stories, re-imagined fairy tales, and retold myths by authors including Jane Yolen, Peter S. Beagle, and Tanith Lee. Familiar shape-changers (such as selkies, swan maidens, and mermen) cavort with more unusual animal-people (e.g., salamanders and bear brides) through settings spanning ancient Greece, frontier United States, and modern-day India.
