From inside the dust jacket: "The Book of Fantasy began one night when three friends fell to talking about fantasies and ghost stories...The result is an astonishing collection of stories drawn from all the literatures of the world from Ancient China to Modern America, mingling the obscure and the neglected with the already famous and showing a splendid disdain for conventional literary opinion." Edited by Jorge Luis Borges, Silvina Ocampo, and A. Bioy Casares.
