This collection of beautifully crafted tales will find a warm welcome
from fans of either author, as well as from fantasy readers in
general. - School Library Journal
This collection tells five tales of creatures who live and die by fire,
tales of the present day and the prehistoric past. There is a
confrontation in a haunted graveyard, of the Firespace where only
dragons can survive, of a boy who is claimed by Fire, of a young man who
chases the fireworm through dark tunnels of dream, and the long history
of the Phoenix. With characters and storylines as enigmatic as fire
itself, these five enthralling tales by master storytellers Robin
McKinley and Peter Dickinson are sure to intrigue and delight.
