Waters luminous and deep

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.
