 | Best Fantasy by Harlan Ellison, Karen Haber, Robert Silverberg, Ursula K. Le Guin
The present anthology is intended to show that reach and range as it is demonstrated nowadays in the shorter forms of fiction. You will find very little that is formulaic here, although we have not ignored any of fantasy`s great traditions. There are stories set in the familiar quasi-medieval worlds to which modern readers are accustomed and others rooted in the authentic myth-constructs of high antiquity, and several that depend for their power on the juxtaposition of fantastic situations and terribly contemporary aspects of modern life on Earth AUTHOR: Harlan Ellison, Karen Haber, Robert Silverberg, Ursula K. Le Guin
