Misleading cover and title

Rarely do I ever find a compilation book where every single story amused, or grabbed my attention, etc. This book is actually ALL about different types of Fantasy; and every story works. Yet they are all so different in style and background and characters. I absolutely loved it - every single story was a gem (and that's saying a lot). If you like home-grown fantasy, this book is for you. It has witches and werewolves and run-away unicorns. It has fairye doubles that fill in for humans. In other words, it has EVERYTHING. Buy this book.
