"So you won't sell me your soul ?" said the devil.
"Thank you," replied the student, "I had rather keep it myself, if it's all the same to you.'
So begins this rich and intriguing collection of fantasy stories. Figures such as the devil, trolls and werewolves, sorcerers and dragons have long been part ot the human psyche. The authors of these marvellous tales draw upon this deep well of images, characters, and landscapes with great imagination and subtlety.
With thirty-one tales by writers as diverse as Mervyn Peake and Tanith Lee, Angela Carter and Terry Pratchett, this is an anthology for the newcomer and dedicated fan alike.
