5.0 out of 5 stars
A collection of unique stories,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of L. Sprague De Camp (Mass Market Paperback)
L. Sprague de Campe has some of the most unique ideas that I have ever run across. In this colection you will find eighteen stories illustrating the strongests points about short stories: good characterization and story without a lot of boring, mouthy filler (too many authors seem to get paid by the word rather than the quality of the story). You will find out what happens if everyone suddenly grew hair like a cat or dog; or what an immortal apeman might think like; or how gunpowder might affect a knight in the age of dragons; or why a magic fan can create havoc in an ancient court. de Campe's stories take place in a wide variety of places and ages, illustrating the versatility of his thought. If you've read any of his other stories, you will find vague or outright connections to his other works in some of these stories.
