Realms of Wizardry, page 36
THE companion volume to Realms of Wizardry is another fantasy anthology called Kingdoms of Sorcery.
Kingdoms of Sorcery contains tales and excerpta from many of the major fantasy writers—Clark Ashton Smith, Voltaire, C. S. Lewis, William Morris, J. R. R. Tolkien, L. Sprague de Camp, E. R. Eddison, Richard Adams, William Beckford, Fritz Leiber, Edgar Allan Poe, Fletcher Pratt, T. H. White, George MacDonald, Robert H. Barlow, and a new story of my own.
Just as Realms of Wizardry illustrates five of the important fantasy traditions, Kingdoms of Sorcery demonstrates fantasy as saga, as parable, as anecdote, and as epic literature.
If you found Realms of Wizardry exciting and entertaining and fun to read, you should look up a copy of Kingdoms of Sorcery, as it contains more of the same sort of reading.
Taken together, as the two halves of one huge book, the twin anthologies indicate the broad spectrum of styles and narrative forms which make up the world of modem fantasy.
I hope you have enjoyed them.
