 I found this collection of stories and two poems to be hard slogging at points and delightful in others. Jane Yolen’s introductory poem was excellent, as were the modern-day tale of the wyrm, a fleshing out of The Lady of Shallot, and the concluding story about the wolf. It was interesting to see the themes of loyalty and duty explored over time, along with self-sacrifice and disillusionment. There was too much sexuality for my tastes in some of the stories. Awards
