In these seven contemporary fantasies from Tanya Huff, we see a dog's eye view of loyalty and a cat's eye view of sea serpents. We learn that some Brownies could use a shave--although cookies will still be sold--and that there are at least two sides to every relationship, no matter how accidental and/or mythical that relationship is. We're also reminded that however worthwhile it may be to die with purpose, it's better to live well. Huff's ability to leaven heartache with humour--and vise versa--gives this collection of previously published stories an unexpected emotional variety. A December release, *He Said, Sidhe Said* also includes the seasonally appropriate "I'll be Home for Christmas."
