The Big Book of Classic Fantasy

Janne Janssens

This was a great collection, considering the variety of authors and styles, and the fact that Ann and Jeff Vandermeer succeeded in publishing an admirable number of stories that have never been translated to English before.

I did not like every story, but it is not the purpose of that book to only tell stories that are public pleasers. This Big Book contained stories of very well-known authors and authors I have never heard of. I liked reading short stories about those famous authors, which were often completely different from their big works, and I liked discovering new authors. 

The Big Book of Classic Fantasy is a must-have for people who love the fantasy genre and want to dive deeper than the temporary books and all known stories.
