Excellent selection, with every story a winner! I really enjoyed reading shorts from some of my favourite authors of old, and discovering some new soon-to-be favourites I can't wait to explore further. The range of this collection was widely varied in theme and style which makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to pick a favourite (apples and pears you know). If I were to pick a few though: 'The Game of Magical Death' a very neatly crafted horror; 'The Bones of the Earth' wonderful to add another little bitter-sweet snippet to the story of Gont; 'Timekeeper' a whimsical (if slightly dark) tale of just deserts, both good and bad.
