"Great collection of fantasy stories"
Three decades have passed since the great seer Donald A.
Wollheim founded Daw as a place for some of the best
fantasy and science fiction works to have a home. This
30th Anniversary Daw Fantasy anthology provides strong
stories that run the gamut of the genre from some of the
more renowned writers to the future stars. The stories pay
homage to the company, but the contributors including the
editor pay deference to the deceased founding father. Each
tale is new, but more important well written as if each
writer understood whom they really honor with this
collection. Fans of fantasy will enjoy the tales, but also
the short introductory blurb that each author adds about
Mr. Wollheim (never realized he wrote the tale that Mimic
is based on until Michael Shea pointed that out). Great
short story book worth reading and hopefully its companion
on science fiction holds up as well. Harriet Klausner

| SUMMARY |
|
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of DAW Books, editors
Betsy Wollheim and Sheila Gilbert asked each and every
author published by DAW thoughout its history if they would
like to contribute a new story for a special commemorative
anthology. The response was overwhelming. So overwhelming, in fact,
that the contributions will be published in not one but two
volumes-one for the fantasy stories and one for the science
fiction-featuring the most acclaimed, award-winning, best-
selling names in any genre.
