Fantasists on Fantasy: A collection of Critical… di Robert H. Boyer
Fascinating and unpretentious discourse on Fantasy Fiction by the writers who write it. I used it as reference material for a critical study I was working on as it contained material written by authors who were pathing the way for modern fantasy. I wouldn't say it is comprehensive but it certainly covers enough ground as a taster reference. Nice to see Moorcock included.
Most of the high fantasy--tales set in detailed worlds that inspire wonder--that I've read have been contained in lengthy tomes, multi-volume series, or both. This book, however, is a collection of short stories. They are tales that carry a touch of wonder, but take much less time to read. The collection contains fairy tales, wizards, sword wielding warriors, quests, magical artifacts, and Death. While none of the stories are a must read, they are worth checking out.

The librarian in the small town I grew up is a witch. She had a magic ability to know exactly the book that I needed to read even when I didn't know how to begin asking for it. Going through a transitional period where I was shedding the fantasy novels of my youth with no idea of what to read, this came along. A mix of high and low Gothic fantasy that has stuck with me ever since, even if I had to return this book to the library. I'm searching for a copy of my own now, because this book needs a place on my shelf.
