Fantastic Companions is an
anthology of nineteen original short stories, chosen to illustrate
the use of anthropomorphism in fantasy. Individual stories range
from more traditional techniques, such as talking animals, to more
unusual, such as the personification of constellations, ancient
gods, and story itself. Aimed at both trade and educational
markets, this diverse anthology is an amazing look at how writers
deal with what makes us truly human, through the lens of
imagination.
