With the Snow Queen

Joanne Greenberg. Arcade Publishing, $10.95 (321pp) ISBN 978-1-55970-192-1

At least four of these 14 tales--many of which are set in Colorado and infused with magic realism--deserve to be classics. Although Greenberg sometimes overreaches for effect, her best work shows psychological acuity and compassion. (May)
