Scribblies is a writers group with Emma Bull. The story Karl is citing is Jack the Giant-Killer by Charles de Lint. It’s easiest to find now in the volume called Jack Of Kinrowan, which puts it together with the sequel, Drink Down The Moon (http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Kinrowan-Giant-Killer-Drink-Down/dp/0312869592).
The series is just called The Fairy Tales Series, and you can see a listing of the books here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Windling#Bibliography.
