The Big Book of Classic Fantasy

This book is what it says it is: a big book of fantasy stories, by authors who have either created classics in the genre, or are well known for other types of writing but also dipped into the realm of the fantastic.

While some selections will be familiar to those well-versed in fantasy literature, others are more obscure, and the editors have made a laudable effort to counter the “Anglo bias” in most anthologies. With so many stories, if some are not to your taste, you need only move on and you'll be sure to find something that is. A real treasure for fantasy fans.
