title: The Dragon Book: Magical Tales from the Masters of Modern Fantasy
author:  Jack Dann 
description: Nineteen distinctly different, atmospheric tales by modern-day fantasy writers, the likes of Garth Nix, Harry Turtledove, Bruce Coville, Tanith Lee, and Mary Rosenblum, make this a treasure trove for fantasy fans, especially dragon lovers. Cecelia Holland weighs in with a heroine reminiscent of Scheherazade, but here, its a dragon demanding the stories. In Jonathan Strouds Bob Chois Last Job, a dragon hunter comes up against a voracious shape-shifter. Liz Williams offers a mannered story in which a mage, summoned to vanquish a worm, encounters the unexpected. Nix depicts a radioactive man/dragon. In case youre wondering what a police officer is to do when a large dragon plops down in a busy Oakland intersection, Peter S. Beagle has the answer. Tad Williams dragon tells her children the story of how in days of yore, when dragon-slayers existed, a stark and wormy knight came to slay her ancestor and rescue a damsel. All in all, an enticing collection for genre fans. --Sally Estes
