"Christmas is a time of wonder with a special magic all its own. So what better time to immerse yourself in a spellbinding collection of holiday tales about such legendary creatures as selkies and sea serpents, elves and pixies, a transplanted Yeti and a blue-nosed reindeer. The creators of such imagination-captivating collections as 'Horse Fantastic' and 'Dragon Fantastic' have once again joined forces to bring you a Christmas eve collection you'll never forget, calling upon the talents of such tale-spinners as Jennifer Robertson, Harry Turtledove, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Tanya Huff, Jane Yolen, and Alan Dean Foster to deck the halls and then fill them with as wild a collection of party guests as any fantasy lover could wish for. From a Hanukkah tale of the Golem, to a visit to the secret world of mermaids, to a selkie who just couldn't miss seeing the relatives for the holidays, to an Abominable Snowman who was invited to be Santa's Christmas guest, there's a festival of entertainment awaiting you in Christmas Bestiary."--Pg.
