The Book of Fantasy Edited by Jorge Luis Borges, Silvina Ocampo, A. Bioy Casares Introduction by Ursula A. Le Guin Publisher: Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc. Copyright: 1990
The Book of Fantasy began one night when Jorge Luis Borges and his co-editors fell into talking about fantasies and ghost stories. What emerged from their conversations became a goldmine of tales drawn from a wealth of literatures of the world.
This astonishing collection of stories brings together a splendid mixture of internationally famous and lesser-known but highly accomplished writers, many of whom have been translated here for the first time.
Among the authors included are Ray Bradbury, G. K. Chesterton, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Joyce, Edgar Allan Poe, Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Mary Shelley, J. G. Ballard, Julio Cortazar, Lewis Carroll, Franz Kafka, Olaf Stapledon, Edith Wharton, William Butler Yeats, and a score of others.
The Book of Fantasy comes with a specially written introduction by Ursula K. Le Guin, twice winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards. It is, quite simply, the finest anthology of its kind.
