Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
Magic – that particular magic known as adult fantasy – has always fascinated mankind and continues to do so as the enchanted and enchanting stories in this volume prove.
For these are works by writers like William Morris, Lord Dunsany, E.R. Eddison, H.R. Lovecraft, L. Sprague de Camp, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jack Vance – and many more.
A fit contemporary companion volume to the pride of ancient writers in DRAGONS, ELVES, AND HEROES.
Edited and with introduction and notes by Lin Carter. |
