Tortall and Other Lands (Cover)

Cover

Tortall and Other Lands: A Collection of Tales is a compilation of short stories by Tamora Pierce.

Stories[]

Quite a few of the short stories are set in the Tortallan Universe, and some are previously published in other anthologies, such as Elder Brother, Huntress, Student of Ostriches, and Time of Proving. The book also includes other books set in the universe such as The Hidden Girl (a spin-off of Elder Brother), Nawat, Lost, and The Dragon's Tale, as well as non-Tortallan short stories Mimic and Plain Magic, and the contemporary, non-fantasy story Testing, drawn on Pierce's own experiences as a house mother in a group home for teenage girls.[1]

Product description[]

"Collected here for the first time are all of the tales from the land of Tortall, featuring both previously unknown characters as well as old friends. Filling some gaps of time and interest, these stories, some of which have been published before, will lead Tammy's fans, and new readers into one of the most intricately constructed worlds of modern fantasy."
