Reading the list of authors that have contrbuted to this book is like reading a Who's Who in the world of fantasy fiction. In "Treasures of Fantasy" you will find stories that make you shiver, cry, or laugh, stories that open new doors of imagination. While one or two of the authors' styles can be confusing within the context of the others (and boy! do some of these stories make a person really think!), on the whole this is a wonderfully diverse collection of adventures for the reader to join. From a magic valley that seems to alter the fabric of space, to a child who can do anything simply because no-one's told him he can't, to the rediscovery of mankind's ancient "little people" on a planet far from Earth, this book captured my imagination and my heart.A must-read for all fantasy/sci-fi fans!
