Collection of 22 short fantasy works. Standout is Pamela Dean's "Owlswater", in which a young apprentice sorcerer sets out to seek the truth behind a master's dreaming.

Authors included in the collection are Ursula K. LeGuin, William Stafford, Gardner Dozois, Esther Friesner, Jane Yolen, Tanith Lee, and more.

Yolen eventually released three of these collections; this is the premier volume, published in 1993.
