Book Description
================
Never-before-published stories by Neil Gaiman, Eoin Colfer, Garth Nix,
and a magical lineup of writers.

Throughout the ages, the wizard has claimed a spot in human culture-from
the shadowy spiritual leaders of early man to precocious characters
in blockbuster films. Gone are the cartoon images of wizened gray-haired
men in pointy caps creating magic with a wave of their wands. Today’s
wilzards are more subtle in their powers, more discerning in their ways,
and-in the hands of modern fantasists-more likely than ever to capture
readers’ imaginations.

In Neil Gaiman’s “The Witch’s Headstone,” a piece taken from his much-anticipat-
ed novel in progress, an eight-year-old boy learns the power of kindness
from a long-dead sorceress. Only one woman possesses two kinds of magic-enough
to unite two kingdoms-in Garth Nix’s “Holly and Iron.” Patricia A McKillip’s
“Naming Day” gives a sorcery student a lesson in breaking the rules.
And a famished dove spins a tale worthy of a meal, but perhaps not the
truth, in “A Fowl Tale” by Eoin Colfer.
