Henry Prize winner Steven Schwartz comes this indispensable collection spanning nearly four decades of artistic mastery. Henry Prize Story Awards, and a National Endowment Again major disappointment-it must have been updated and deleted. (Not saying who it is because I don't want to give away a spoiler.) Bayon's story is really sweet as the two of them find their footing with each other again. The plot is fantastic even though I could have spit as I read the last line of the book! Are you serious???!!!It is well thought out, well executed and simply phenomenal. The stories here are very diverse, ranging from sci-fi to historical fiction to satire to adventure to fantasy, and more.A couple of the more interesting stories (my two personal favorites actually) are a story that puts King Arthur in the middle of a Star Trek convention and replaces the round table with a con table, and another brilliant story that reimagines King Arthur as a woman uniting/unionizing other female workers in America in the early 1900s. - D.O.D.. This is definitely one of my son's favorites!. I like it. I suggest you read that one.. A 6 year old may be a beginning reader, but a discerning listener. The photos are beautifully done and very colorful. I have found ti very helpful and I hope my daughter does too. Collins' novels, this is her very best. Sirius is worth saving at all costs!
