I’m pleased to see my book on Worlds of Words, which I’ve just discovered. WOW looks like a wonderful and useful resource for multicultural literature.
[But just to set the record straight: two of the eight stories were previously published in YA collections (not anthologies); five were previously published as a collection titled FIGS AND FATE (George Braziller), and one, “Honor,” is completely new for SANTA CLAUS. Sort of a curious history!]
