Wee Folk

Kristine Kathryn rusch

Wee folk populate fiction in a variety of forms, from elves to pixies to fairies to sprites. This collection of six stories from award-winning and bestselling master of short fiction Kristine Kathryn Rusch features all of them.

All centered on the magical, Wee Folk starts off with four stories with an edge. From a new twist on a theatrical legend in “Puckish Behavior” to a gunslinger for hire in “Renn and the Little Men” to funeral disruptors in “Flower Fairies” to battle-worn pixies in “Dispatches from the Front,” the wee folk in these stories prove anything but ordinary.

The final two stories feature elves at the holidays with a lot on their plates, with one Christmas elf serving time for his crimes in “By the Chimney with Care” and another with a big job in “Up on the Rooftop.”

In each magical story, the masterful Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts her trademark twist on the very nature of wee folk.
