FirebirdsFirebirds is more than simply an anthology. It gathers together sixteen original stories by writers of fantasy and science fiction. These authors, including Lloyd Alexander (The Chronicles of Prydain), Diana Wynne Jones (The Merlin Conspiracy), Garth Nix (The Abhorsen Trilogy), Patricia A. McKillip (Ombria in Shadow), Meredith Ann Pierce (The Darkangel Trilogy), and Nancy Farmer (The House of the Scorpion), , tell stories that will entertain, provoke, startle, amuse, and resonate long after the last page has been turned.
