Coyote. Anansi. Brer Rabbit. Trickster characters have long been a staple of folk literatureand are a natural choice for the overarching subject of acclaimed editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windlings third mythic anthology. The Coyote Road features a remarkable range of authors, each with his or her fictional look at a trickster character. These authors include Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles), Charles de Lint (The Blue Girl), Ellen Klages (The Green Glass Sea), Kelly Link (Magic for Beginners), Patricia A. McKillip (Old Magic), and Jane Yolen. Terri Windling provides a comprehensive introduction to the trickster myths of the world, and the entire book is highlighted by the remarkable decorations of Charles Vess. The Coyote Road is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary fantastic fiction.

Coyote is not the only trickster in the world and this book gives a taste of many others with which you may not be familiar. These stories and poems by noted authors - Charles De Lint being one of my favorites and the reason I bought the book - will open your eyes to the dualistic personalities of the trickster character. I wonder if they are all Gemini born......
