A Century of Fantasy collects in one magnificent series of original anthologies the greatest fantasy stories of the twentieth century. This volume, the greatest stories of the 1980s, initiates the series, edited by Robert Silverberg, one of America's leading fantasy writers. Five projected volumes will cover the rest of the century by decade, with the first part of the century (1900-1949) in a single volume.
As our twentieth century moves toward the new millennium, MJF Books is proud to be publishing this series as well its three companions: A Century of Science Fiction, A Century of Horror, and A Century of Mystery, collecting the greatest stories written in each genre. Each volume's cover will be illustrated by a well-known artist, each will be printed on acid-free paper, and each will be sturdily bound to last another century. The Series Editor is Martin H. Greenberg, America's most renowned anthologist and recipient of numerous awards. The Century series has been conceived to offer the reader only the very best, in collectible books of lasting value.
