 Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling, editors, Black Heart, Ivory Bones
Datlow and Windling note that the resurgence of interest in fairy tales at the end of the 20th century (which hasn't quite ended yet) echoes a similar renaissance at the end of the 19th century.
"The Cats of San Martino" by Ellen Steiber incorporates the old Italian folk tale into a satisfying contemporary fantasy in which the heroine discovers that her greatest treasure is her sense of self.
This is a treasure trove greater than any fairy godmother could grant, and Datlow and Windling should be congratulated for the elegant closure they bring to the series.
