Annotation:
Thirty-two stories chosen for the simple reason that editor Dozois liked them, which turns out to be remarkably good criteria in the hands of this veteran. As the title states, the stories collected here are gems from the world of fantasy only.

Praise
Washington Post Book World
"What the reader notices about these fantasies, even the ones from pulp magazines, is that they are superbly written...It's hard to imagine a time when such delights were not generally available, but here is what the general public was missing, and what the mainstream old guard is still missing. The choices form the '80s and '90s are equally rich, including Terry Bisson's comic absurdist classic "Bears Discover Fire" and Lucius Shepard's "The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule..." - Darrell Schweitzer 01/26/1997
