Merlin's Kin (World Storytelling from August House)

Merlin: the strange, almost eerie magician who stands just to one side of the rest of humanity. Yet Merlin is not alone of his kind. He has kin in every corner of the world. For magicians are found among all peoples and in all cultures. In this collection, Josepha Sherman draws upon her dual training as a comparative folklorist and fantasy novelist to present international folk stories of magical valor and peril.
