A Quest-Lover's Treasury of the Fantastic

by Margaret Weis, Tanya Huff (Collaborator), Neil Gaiman (Collaborator)

Bestselling author and editor of the popular A Lover’s Treasury of the Fantastic returns with an anthology of classic quest stories, as only she can assemble them.As far back as Homer’s Odyssey, “the quest” has been a compelling and popular storytelling vehicle used in many enduring works of Western literature, including Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Pilgrim’s Progress, and the contemporary fantasy favorite, The Lord of the Rings. Now, in homage to these timeless favorites, Margaret Weis has assembled a sparkling reprint collection of quest-driven gems by such notable fantasy authors as Neil Gaiman, C. J. Cherryh, Michael Moorcock, and Mercedes Lackey.

I read an advance review copy of this book, which contained a few minor typos.
Most of these stories were completely new to me, and I know some will stay with me a long time! Not even the ones I liked best! I think I've heard another story of Timon the Black, but now I feel compelled to seek out even more from my favorite authors!
