内容説明
An anthology of fantasy stories selected by the eminent Medievalist and Fantasy scholar Tom Shippey, The Oxford Book of Fantasy Stories gathers together thirty-one tales brimming over with imagination. This rich and intriguing collection of fantasy stories features classic figures--the Devil, trolls and werewolves, sorcerers and dragons--that have long been a part of the human psyche. The authors of these marvelous tales draw upon a deep well of images, characters, and landscapes with great imagination and subtlety. Featuring writers as diverse as John Buchan and Mervyn Peake, Angela Carter and Terry Pratchett, this is an anthology for the newcomer and dedicated fan alike.
From Publishers Weekly
Shippey has done an admirable job of collecting entertaining, exotic and readable tales that fairly represent the varied trends in fantasy over the last century, bringing back some long out-of-print stories. The book has a strong comic slant, beginning with Richard Garnett's "The Demon Pope" (ca. 1888), a truly amusing take on the time-honored theme of soul selling, and ending with Terry Pratchett's "Troll Bridge," in which "Cohen the Barbarian" bemoans the fading away of magic (and his own advancing decrepitude) but refuses to give up the hero biz. Strange tales by Lord Dunsany and H. P. Lovecraft share space with sword and sorcery offerings from Robert Howard and Catherine L. Moore. Though the anthology contains Peter Beagle's wonderful "Lila the Werewolf" and Theodore Sturgeon's classic "The Silken-Swift," there are several puzzling absences--notably J.R.R. Tolkien, Patricia McKillip and Ursula Le Guin. But taken in toto this collection offers insights into the breadth of the field, its historical development and its many beauties.

A great variety from well-known and lesser known authors
1999/2/20
形式:ペーパーバック
diverse collection of fantasy short stories, including heavyweights such as H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, and Larry Niven as well as other lesser-known but skilled writers.
Some of the stories I just couldn't get into, such as "The Erl-King" by Angela Carter, and some dragged on a bit. However, others I now consider among my favorite short stories, such as "The Nameless City", my first taste of Lovecraft. Other favorites include "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" written in 1908 by Lord Dunsany, "The Kings of the Sea" by Sterling Lanier, "Lila the Werewolf" by Peter Beagle, "Beyond the Dead Reef" by James Tiptree, Jr. and "Troll Bridge" by Terry Pratchett.

Superbly selected
1998/11/16
形式:ハードカバー
Shippey has chosen a wonderful range of stories and arranged them with considerable wit and art. Even stories which might seem a bit superficial or illwritten in isolation take on new significance in this collection.
I got this book from the library originally and ever since have been trying to find a copy I can buy. Well worth the money.

GREAT STORIES!

形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
I needed the book for school. The book contains a good amount of solid fantasy stories. The book is out of print now, so they're harder to find.
