Today, something very different. Totally different. A fairy story from Gardner Dozois.

Dozois was the editor of Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine for twenty years and is the editor of the annual anthology series The Year’s Best Science Fiction. He has written or edited more than eighty books, won thirteen Hugo Awards as the year’s Best Editor, and two Nebula Awards for his own short fiction.
