5.0

Broad look at the fantasy genre from its beginnings to the eighties. This book includes short stories from many of the early voices in fantasy - Morris, Twain, Dickens - as well as more contemporary masters - LeGuin, Ellison, McKinley. It also spans fantasy beyond mere sword and sorcery - into mystery, alien worlds, horror, and works that can only be broadly described as speculative fiction.

While this fantasy fiction might be rare, it doesn't seem to have aged well. I'm not intrigued; I don't find much wonder in this collection.
