Earth and Air: Tales of Elemental Creatures

(2) YA Dickinson completes the series of "elemental" tales he began with his wife Robin McKinley (Water; Fire). Though links to the theme can be tenuous, these six new stories are provocative in both variety and ideas. Suspenseful, frequently violent, sometimes comic, and with Dickinson's usual command of imaginative imagery and beautifully tooled language, this is a fitting capstone to the series.
