From the spooky to the charming by way of the deeply strange, this collection is a must for fans of fantasy fiction.
Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince draws on the great fairy tale tradition. Elizabeth Gaskell's The Old Nurse gives us a taste of the Gothic, whilst H.P. Lovecraft journeys into the weird. The effects of war and loss were keenly felt by Arthur Machen in his moving story, The Bowmen. And in Victorian times, children's writers such as Edith Nesbit spun the most charming fantastical tales in stories like The Dragon Tamers. These amazing feats of imagination and many more brilliantly showcase the many facets of fantasy writing.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
