The Fair Folk

Edited by Marvin Kaye.

A story collection offered up by the Science Fiction Book Club which contains "Uous" by Tanith Lee, "Grace Notes" by Megan Lindholm (a.k.a Robin Hobb), "The Gypsies in the Wood" by Kim Newman, "The Kelpie" by Patricia A. McKillip, "An Embarrassment of Elves" by Craig Shaw Gardner, and "Except the Queen" by Jane Yolen and Midori Snyder.

As much as my favorite author of the bunch is Patricia A. McKillip, the story I actually enjoyed the most was "Except the Queen" by Jane Yolen and Midori Snyder. It was written in the form of letters between two sisters and detailed an exile and a reconciliation.

I think the story I enjoyed the least was "An Embarrassment of Elves" by Craig Shaw Gardner. Its attempted humor just didn't fit in with the other stories.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and give it two thumbs up.
