Despite the product description there is nothing by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and from Margaret Weis, there is only the Introduction and no story. I suggest interested readers download the Kindle sample to peruse the contents. I also suggest Amazon and/or the publisher remove Marion Zimmer Bradley as a linked author. Other than that, this looks like a nice collection of related short stories, and Margaret Weis usually has good taste as an editor. I did enjoy the half-a-story by C.J. Cherryh, though not enough to invest $10 in a short story collection at this time (I have other books I want to buy first... :D)

I all want to say in this short review is that this is one of the best (short) collections of fantasy stories out there. Every one of the stories is engaging and continues being so all the way till the end. My favorite by far is "Bully and the Beast" by Orson Scott Card. Beautiful and thought-provoking. Most of the stories have humor worked into them too. I highly recommend this collection

First there is little explaination these are RE-printed stories from other books and mags. Second I still have not stumbled on the Marion Zimmer Bradley story, a primary reason for getting this book. At least the price came down and most tales are good if you have not already read them else where.
