"A strong debut...an epic tale of intrigue and battles, of betrayals and romances, of misunderstandings and magic." --Lambda Book Report, for The Stone Prince

"A rousing adventure, full of color and spectacular magics, and just a hint of romance in this intriguing world where men and women both fight and rule." --Locus, for The Painter Knight]]> 69803 3.60 1692 102 1999 475741 0756402336 9780756402334 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175064806m/475741.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175064806s/475741.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/475741.Little_Red_Riding_Hood_in_the_Big_Bad_City 3.05 22

When that God's dice roll during the height of Havo's Dance, these three boys—thieves and con artists—will discover their destinies. One will be bound by a life-or-death pledge that will see him marked as the future Champion of the War God, another forced to walk a perilous road as he seeks to master his talent as a seer, and the last will be cast forth from the city and claimed by the hungry spirits seeking a way into Anavatan and the precious power contained in the Silver Lake.]]> 69803 3.60 1692 102 2005 475744 0886779804 9780886779801 3 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175064807m/475744.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175064807s/475744.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/475744.Villains_Victorious 3.41 17

Meets storyteller?
Something new is born.
Mythspring

Song and story. Myth and tradition. They are a shared legacy that both satisfies and inspires. Join these talented authors as they celebrate the rich, diverse, and occasionally truly odd culture of our country.

Mythspring is an anthology of original short speculative fiction, including fantasy, science fiction, and horror, where each story is derived from a Canadian song, folktale, myth, or other cultural source. Excerpts of the source text or image appears in the book with each story, along with a brief description of how the author was inspired by it.

Includes stories from notable speculative fiction authors such as Charles de Lint, James Alan Gardener, Alison Baird, Tanya Huff and Karin Lowachee.

The stories will be suitable for an older young adult audience, and the book will be of great interest to educators. It will be included as a "special event" volume within the Realms of Wonder series of original fantasy anthologies.

Be inspired. Celebrate our wealth of ideas and talent. Taste the delights of Mythspring.
