This career retrospective from beloved author Tad Williams (Otherland; Tailchaser's Song;Shadowplay) demonstrates why he is one of fantasy's most enduring icons. The Very Best of Tad Williams collects Williams' finest work in multiple genres, including epic fantasy, urban fantasy, and YA. These superlative tales, many of which were previously available only in limited editions, introduce dragons, wizards, assassins, heroes, and fools — even a few cyberpunks.
Readers familiar with Williams' internationally bestselling novels and series will be delighted that in his short fiction he explores myriad new possibilities and adventures. Here are the stories that showcase the exhilarating breadth of Williams’ imagination, hearkening back to such classic fantasists as J. R. R. Tolkien, Ray Bradbury, Peter S. Beagle, and beyond. - from Amazon.com

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
I have enjoyed Tad's GREEN ANGEL TOWER series, and TAILCHASER'S SONG, that a chance to read a collection of short stories was nothing to be sneered at. It was great to have the publisher send me a free Uncorrected Proof!! There are 18 stories in all, and as usual in any collection, there were some that I liked better than others. This particular collection, as I read each story (rather, lost myself in each story)I would be dropped back into reality suddenly after what seemed just a few short pages. Truthfully, the stories are longer than a handful of pages, and take on a few different writing styles. If you are a Tad Williams fan, you will enjoy this collection!
