From the back[edit | edit source]
From another world beyond our own where epic quests and ritual evil challenge the gods, seduce the spirit ... where elfin kings and witchwomen, unicorns and Hobbits, sorcerers and swordsmen vaunt and court and do battle and where Lady Death appears in Cinderella splendor ...
The Fantastic Imagination is a brilliant collection of the best in fantasy literature, chosen from the most popular works of the past 150 years. Combining the heroic, the courtly, the magical, and the surreal, Robert H. Boyer and Kenneth J. Zahorski explore the distant colonies of the mind and the spirit ... from behind the moon to the sacred grove of Ashtaroth to the fabled regions of Middle Earth.
