Book Description
Brand-new contributions to the hoard of dragon lore by five top fantasy authors. Orson Scott Card's "In the Dragon's House" is a gothic yarn about the mysterious dragon that lives in the wiring of an old house, noticed by a young boy who shares its body in dreams and feels its true size and power. Mercedes Lackey's "Joust" tells the story of a slave boy who is chosen to care for a warrior's dragon--a dragon whose secrets may be the key to his freedom. Tanith Lee's "Love in a Time of Dragons" is a fable is imbued with her signature atmosphere--Old World, moody, erotic--as a kitchen maid goes a-questing with a handsome champion to slay the local drakkor. Elizabeth Moon's "Judgment" tells the tale of a young man forced by lies to flee his village . . . into an adventure of dwarfs and dragonspawn. Michael Swanwick's "King Dragon" invokes a truly sinister and repellent creature--a being with the soul of a beast and the body of a machine--part metal, part devil . . . all merciless.

Book Description
"The essays address the reception of the Grimms' texts by their readers; the dynamics between Grimms' collection and its earliest audiences; and aspects of the literary, philosophical, creative, and oral reception of the tales, illuminating how writers, philosophers, artists, and storytellers have responded to, reacted to, and revised the stories, thus shedding light on the ways in which past and contemporary transmitters of culture have understood and passed on the Grimms' tales."--BOOK JACKET.

Before Isabeaus birth, Queen Penelope, the most powerful mermaid in the ocean, decrees the little girl will bring great joy to her parents, the king and queen. But Isabeau, meaning one who cares, will be different. She will gain her strength from the water. Queen Penelope will be her protector; Xysta, the mermaid, will guide her; and Rafy, the narwhal, will aid Princess Isabeau on her journeys. While Princess Isabeau knows nothing of her special gift, she believes in herself and leads the Seekers through an odyssey of multiple adventures and perils. Traveling the Eastern Caribbean Sea on a nutmeg boat, the Seekers face challenges at every step. While overcoming the trials, they meet new friends and learn about themselves and the meaning of friendship. The Seekers: The Secret of the Turtles narrates a colorful, mystical tale that follows a young woman who learns she has an extraordinary future unlike any she imagined for herself.

Book Description
The simplicity of children's picture books--stories told with illustrations and a few well chosen words or none at all--makes them powerful tools for teaching morals and personal integrity. Children follow the story and see the characters' behaviors on the page and interpret them in the context of their own lives. But unlike many picture books, most children's lives don't feature monsters. This collection of new essays explores the societally sanctioned behaviors imparted to children through the use of monsters and supernatural characters. Topics include monsters as instructors, the normalization of strangers or the "other," fostering gender norms, and therapeutic monsters, among others.

The contributions in linguistics encompass a spectrum of topics including world Englishes, professional discourse, language acquisition, collocation, translation, and multilingualism. Cultural aspects in language teaching and in literary analysis enrich the reading and hint at Allan James' Welsh and Celtic roots while also going beyond that.
