Meredith Ann Pierce's acclaimed novels are the proof of a remarkable imagination. Here is more proof - eight shorter works of fiction, from fragment to retold fairy tale to novella, each with a strong heroine, a tangibly imagined world, and unforgettable imagery. Among the stories here are the text to her only picture book, "Where the Wild Geese Go"; the tale that showed a teenaged Meredith that she was, indeed, a writer ("Rafiddilee"); and a powerful novella originally commissioned by Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Grandmaster Andre Norton ("Rampion"). Waters Luminous and Deep encapsulates the evolution of one writer's unmistakable style and has all of the power of her longer work.
