For some reason, google alerts just informed me that two bloggers reviewed The Green Man--here are the reviews:

Confessions of a Book Addict

The Lotus Queen
I just got my copies of the Prime reissue of the third of the adult fairy tale volumes of stories edited by Terri Windling and myself. If anyone tried to order it through amazon or B&N online and can't please let me know (both sites say the book is not available. I've asked the publisher to contact both sites to fix that next week but I'm wondering if the book is in the system anyway):

Here's what I wrote:
I’ve just heard about the Donnell library’s forthcoming closing and the homeless prospect of its children’s collection.

I’m a multi award-winning short story editor for over twenty-five years and without a circulating library (mine, as a child, was in the Bronx, then Yonkers, NY) I would not have become the reader I am.

Library books were an essential part of my childhood as I was very rarely able to afford to buy books when I was young. The first book my parents ever took out of the library for me was a nonfiction book about Lapland. All through my childhood I read Eleanor Cameron’s Mushroom planet books, then the Nancy Drew mysteries, books by Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and anything I could get my hands on. I was the kind of child who read the backs of cereal boxes. The library instilled this love of reading in me. Without good public libraries where children can read books there will continue to be fewer and fewer adult readers. Please don’t let this happen.
