(urth) Dark Alchemy

[Rex Lycanthrosaurus]

"Dark Alchemy" is the retitled UK version of the US published "Wizards."

The Wolfe story, if memory serves, is "Magical Animals" and is about a
young boy who may be Merlin and his relationship throughout time with
Viviane. (The book has gone back to the library, so I can't look it up.)

There are reviews in the March (Gevers) and May (Horton) issues of
Locus, but only the former mentions the Wolfe story. (He liked it.)

Don't know why the antho was retitled for sale in the UK -- one would
think Pottermaniacs would be more inclined to pick up a volume labeled
"Wizards" than "Dark Alchemy."
