Great Tales Of Fantasy And Imagination Paperback Book Philip Van Doren Stern

GREAT TALES OF FANTASY AND IMAGINATION Here, in one
volume, is a superlative selection of the greatest imaginative tales in the English language. 

They are stories of strange, fantastic persons and events, of the far horizons of the human mind and the uncanny worlds that lie beyond it.

Included for your pleasure are such eerie tales as STEVENSON'S THE BOTTLE IMP and SAKI'S MUSIC ON THE HILL; such moving fantasies as E. M. FORSTER'S THE CELESTIAL OMNIBUS and WALTER DE LA MARE'S ALL HALLOWS; and such unexpected surprises as MAX BEERBOHM'S wryly amusing ENOCH SOAMES, RIC KNIGHT'S SAM SMALL'S BETTER HALF, nd F. SCOTT FITZGERALD'S THE DIAMOND AS BIG AS THE RITZ.

Also represented among the 21 great writers in this anthology are W. Somerset Maugham, Oliver Onions, Stella Benson, A. E. Coppard, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, Conrad Aiken, Stephen Vincent Benet and James Stephens.

Book is in acceptable condition. General shelf and corner wear. Some white marks on the front and back cover. Some fraying along the cover edges. The spine has some issues (see photo #3). Staining on the front and back cover. Cover creasing. Scrape on the front cover. Area near the spine feels lumpy, so I presume water damage. A solid reading copy. Please see photos for details, and let me know if you have any questions.
