Legends: Eleven New Works by the Masters of Modern Fantasy
Legends Eleven New Works by the Masters of Modern Fantasy Author:Robert Silverberg (Editor) Fantasy is that which is generally believed to be impossible or nonexistent in our culture: wizards and warlocks, elves and goblins, werewolves and vampires, unicorns and enchanted princesses, efficacious incantations and spells. — Acclaimed writer and editor Robert Silverberg gathered eleven of the finest writers in Fantasy to contribute to this... more » collection of short novels. Each of the writers was asked to write a new story based on one of his or her most famous series. Many of the short novels take place at an earlier moment in the history of their worlds, and cast new light on the famous epics. Others fit into the already established patterns of their worlds, but happen offstage from the main action: from Stephen King's opening piece set in his popular Gunslinger universe to Robert Jordan's early look at his famed Wheel of Time saga, these stories are exceptionally well written and universally well told.
