false 2865290 2 First <i>Firebirds</i>. Then <i>Firebirds Rising</i>. Now there is <i>Firebirds Soaring</i>, the third anthology of original stories by some of today's finest writers of fantasy and science fiction. These authors, including Nancy Farmer (<i>The Sea of Trolls</i>), Ellen Klages (<i>The Green Glass Sea</i>), Margo Lanagan (<i>Black Juice</i>), and Jane Yolen (<i>The Devil's Arithmetic</i>), have brought new worlds and Old Magic to life in nineteen remarkable pieces of short fiction. Mike Dringenberg, co-creator of <i>Sandman</i> with Neil Gaiman, contributes decorative vignettes. <i>Firebirds Soaring</i>--like <i>Firebirds</i> and <i>Firebirds Rising</i>--sets the standard for short fiction for teenagers and adult fans of the genre.
