Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Perhaps the most winning aspect of this delightful assemblage is the editor's willingness to accept "twilight realm" diversity. The fairies and other creatures who populate this anthology refuse to be trampled into restrictive definitions; they rumble into existence in any number of shapes, sizes, habits, and habitats. The Faery Reel contains rustic songs and poems; tales of elves, goblins, and futuristic fairies; and adventures involving Captain Hook and the New York Public Library digital catalogue. The contributors include Neil Gaiman, Patricia McKillip, and Delia Sherman.
Publishers Weekly
New sequels help kids get through lazy summer days. Faery world fans will find much to savor in The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm, edited by Ellen Datlow and Terry Windling, a companion to their The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest. Among the 19 tales original to this collection, Gregory Frost's "Tengu Mountain" and "Foxwife" by Hiromi Goto both add flavor with a Japanese setting. Tanith Lee's contribution, "Elvenbrood," one of the darker stories, focuses on the child-stealing tendencies of faeries, while Steve Berman's more conventional "The Price of Glamour" scatters glamour (the magical essence of faeries) and dust amid the streets of Victorian London. Other contributors include Neil Gaiman, Holly Black and Gregory Maguire. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
From The Critics
This varied and exciting collection of short stories and poems featuring contributions by Charles de Lint, Tanith Lee, Holly Black, Patricia McKillip, Gregory Maguire, Neil Gaiman, and more, is introduced by Windling with an extensive survey of faeries in a variety of cultures and periods. Although she highlights the fact that faeries are found in the folklore of every continent, extra attention is given to British literature in her essay. Highlights of the collection include Tengu Mountain, a story of Japanese demons by Gregory Frost in which a young man's visit with his aunt turns into a horror story where nothing is as it appears. In The Faery Handbag by Kelly Link, a young woman searches for her Grandmother Zofia's lost handbag and her boyfriend who has disappeared into it. In the final story, De La Tierra by Emma Bull, an assassin designed to destroy faeries in Los Angeles realizes almost too late that the world, and especially the environment, would be a better place with more faeries in it. This collection is a natural for young adult fantasy fans. Most stories feature teens, and the variety of fascinating worlds and characters will keep young people reading. The tone of the collection is mature enough to be intriguing, and none of the stories are predictable. These stories are not children's fairy tales but darker works that comment on our world by creating parallel ones. VOYA CODES: 4Q 4P J S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Broad general YA appeal; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9; Senior High, defined as grades 10 to 12). 204, Viking, 528p., Ages 12 to 18.

    THe Faery Reel

    I liked the idea instead of just one big book on fairies; it was on many different kinds. That it seemed more traditional to what fairies are when people actually believed in their existence. Instead of today when you think of a fairy, you think of Disney. So if you like more the traditional stories you're going to like this book. In the book they also have some poems on fairies. It just a great book to read find some different kinds of authors you might enjoy their books from reading this one. I know I found a couple. If you have a teenager who is in to this kind of reading this would be a great book for them. Maybe want to make them want to read more books.

    Mind. Blowing.

    When I first got this book, I couldn't put it down! I absolutely love faerie books but I really don't know many of those novels and can be kind of picky with it too. People aren't lying when they say this book has a story for EVERYONE. They have everything from action to adventure to romance to poetry to humor and more! The authors in this story are such talented writers and they give you information on what other stories these authors have written so you can pick up more books if you liked a certain story! I constantly pick this book up and reread my favorite stories too. It's a must for a fantasy-lover's collection.

    UnBelievable!

    This Book was UnBelievable! No book should be this good and not everybody know it! I loved every page of it, especially Screamin' for Faeries and The Night Market. You have to read this book!
