'... She had gone on dreaming of a land beneath the sea, where the water was the air, but silvery and swirly, and the people walked on the seabottom with a curious, graceful, rippling stride...'

What magical beings inhabit earth's waters? Some are as almost-familiar as the mer-people, some as strange as the thing glimpsed only as a golden eye in a pool at the edge of Damar's Great Desert Kalarsham, where the mad god Geljdreth rules; or the unknowable immense Kraken, dark beyond the darkness of the deepest ocean, who will one day rise and rule the world.

Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson have given us six stories of the fabulous creatures associated with the element of water. Each story is as different from the others as are the creatures themselves, but all are vividly imagined and powerfully told.

Elementals: Water is a wonderful collaboration from two outstanding writers and demonstrates that age-old themes can still evoke fresh and enthralling storytelling.
