Fantastic Companions

Fantastic Companions is a story anthology edited by Julie E. Czerneda, with cover art and three interior illustrations by Heather Bruton. It was published in 2005 by Fitzhenry & Whiteside, in Canada and the U.S.A., as a paperback with the ISBN 1550418637. As described in the cataloguing-in-publication data summary, the stories illustrate "the use of anthropomorphism in fantasy. Stories range from more traditional techniques, such as talking animals, to more unusual, such as the personification of constellations, ancient gods, and the story itself."
