Praise for this book

“There's enough color, vitality and bravura displays of mythmaking in this rich sampler to sate faithful fans and nurture new readers on the stuff of legends still being created.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An enjoyable sampler of the best high fantasy available today.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Best Anthology of the Year.” —Rocky Mountain News

“A dream team . . . Legends is the rarest of the rare--an entire collection of original short novels by top fantasy writers . . . Here is a dab of each writer at the top, a worthy sampler that could yield a reader someone new to enjoy.” —USA Today

“This anthology is a stellar compilation of new stories by 11 masters of the genre, with each tale set in a well-established and well-loved universe.... What is so noteworthy about this collection is the fact that all the selections are first rate and are well integrated into their universes, making the book a bonanza not only for avid fans who are familiar with the various series and want more but also for less well read fantasy readers, who will find each story herein a great introduction to a writer's world.” —Sally Estes, Booklist

“A superb Baedeker to the fantasy worlds of 11 of the field's finest writers.” —Dallas Morning News

“Perhaps Legends, an anthology of brand-new novellas by nearly a dozen of the more-famous modern writers in the field, will help secure long-overdue respect. All the writing is of the highest caliber; and each of the tales is compelling. To top it off, artists such as Michael Whelan, Keith Parkinson and Erik Wilson have contributed illustrations that become icing on the cake. Legends makes for a fine road map to the worlds of 11 masters of the genre and serves as a perfect milestone for future fantasy anthologists. Silverberg has put together an anthology of which he and his fellow writers can be justly proud.” —Des Moines Daily Register
