Most of the high fantasy--tales set in detailed worlds that inspire wonder--that I've read have been contained in lengthy tomes, multi-volume series, or both. This book, however, is a collection of short stories. They are tales that carry a touch of wonder, but take much less time to read. The collection contains fairy tales, wizards, sword wielding warriors, quests, magical artifacts, and Death. While none of the stories are a must read, they are worth checking out.
