Reviews

[Riju Ganguly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book, despite its rather 'pulpish' and poor cover, actually contains some of the most delightful fantasies that you can get to read. I am using the word 'fantasy' quite liberally, to include several kinds of works that we tend to categorise as "speculative fiction". My favourite work was "The Moon Maid", and others must be having their own favourites. Now, what about getting the guy to produce some more stuff like this? Because, in this era of rising prices and pinching pay, these stories are surefire anti-depressants. Recommended.
