AuthorFletcher Pratt
ISBN0345298527
Lalette Asterhax could not escape her destiny. She was a hereditary witch in a world where witchcraft was banned by ecclesiastical and temporal powers. And any man who possessed her would then gain possession of her precious Blue Star…and all the powers it could bestow. Rodvard Bergelin was a reluctant...
Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow Valley
AuthorLord Dunsany
After long and patient research I am still unable to give to the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. Were it merely a matter of history there could be no doubts about the period; but where magic is concerned, to however slight an extent, there must always be some element...

AuthorEvangeline Walton
ISBN0020264720
Tricked into giving birth to him, the sorceress Arianhod swore that the child should be nameless until she named him...that he should not bear arms until she herself bestowed them...and that he should never love a woman of the human race.

The Conan Chronicles: Volume 2: The Hour of the Dragon
AuthorRobert E. Howard
ISBN1857987470
Conan the Cimmerian: he rose from boy-thief and mercenary to become king of Aquilonia.

Collected...
Figures of Earth
AuthorJames Branch Cabell
ISBN1414298250
Mundus vult decipi - the world wants to be deceived - and the happier man is one whose desires remain unfulfilled inform all of Cabell's writing. As the chroniclers write of Poictesme's redemption:

"For although this was a very heroic war, with a parade of every sort of high moral principle,...

The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis
AuthorCharles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne
ISBN0330239465
This obscure adventure novel, though popular in its time, is quite entertaining, not exactly literature and that term has been greatly overused, a yardstick... if you like H. Rider Haggard who influenced this author, you'll have an enjoyable read. To me a book is good or bad anything else is superfluous...The...
Land of Unreason
AuthorL. Sprague de Camp
ISBN0440147360
On Midsummer's Eve, as everybody knows, you should leave a bowl of milk out for the fairies. Unfortunately - or fortunately - Fred Barber, an American diplomat convalescing in Yorkshire, didn't take the obligation with proper seriousness. He swapped the milk for a stiff dose of Scotch. So he had only...
Red Moon and Black Mountain
AuthorJoy Chant
ISBN0345021789
When I was a young girl Joy Chant was part of the triarchy from whom I bought and read everything I could get my hands on (the other two being Joan D. Vinge and Elizabeth A. Lynn). So I thought it was about time after all those years to get re-acquainted with my childhood dreams.

As things turned out...
The Floating Gods
AuthorM. John Harrison
ISBN0671415131

M. John Harrison's prose is filled with a rich, idiosyncratic music, and the structure of his "Viriconium" novels is musical too. If The Pastel City is a late symphony by Beethoven (a classical, conventionally constructed work, filled with individualistic energy, straining to break its bonds),...
The Sundering Flood
AuthorWilliam Morris
ISBN0345032616
At about the 2/3 mark I started to reconsider what this was about. It is clearly in the vein of a chivalrous romance, its events and adventures unspooling as though from a storyteller's tongue, all sort of strung together and barely contained by the basic frame of Osberne's courtly romance with Elfhild...
The Kingdom Under the Sea and Other Stories
AuthorJoan Aiken
ISBN0140306412
Çok güzel bir öykü kitabıydı.
İçerisindeki hikayeler birbirinden değişikti ve her hikayenin sonunda mutlaka çıkarılması gereken bir ders içeriyordu.
İleride -uzun uzun yıllar sonra- çocuğum olursa ve 9-12 yaş arasındayken bu kitabı -tabii o zaman elimde bir...
