More About the Author

Marion Eleanor Zimmer was born in Albany, NY, on June 3, 1930, and married Robert Alden Bradley in 1949. Mrs. Bradley received her B.A. in 1964 from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, then did graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1965-67.
She was a science fiction/fantasy fan from her middle teens. She had written as long as she could remember, but wrote only for school magazines and fanzines until 1952, when she sold her first professional short story to VORTEX SCIENCE FICTION. She wrote everything from science fiction to Gothics, but is probably best known for her Darkover novels and for her Arthurian novel, THE MISTS OF AVALON.
In addition to her novels, Mrs. Bradley edited magazines, amateur and professional, including Marion Zimmer Bradley's FANTASY Magazine, which she started in 1988. She also edited an annual anthology called SWORD AND SORCERESS, which is still published annually under the title MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY'S SWORD AND SORCERESS.
She died in Berkeley, California on September 25, 1999, four days after suffering a major heart attack.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive Advertising, October 24, 2010
There is a book of MZB's short stories called THE BEST OF MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY (aka JAMIE AND OTHER STORIES). There is even a Kindle version of it The Best of Marion Zimmer Bradley: Jamie and other stories, with added introductions and an additional story. This is NOT it. This is a few of her old public-domain works, which are available for free at Gutenberg.com and similar sites, with a duplicated title. It is erroneously linked to the books with the same title, and the two reviews currently attached to it are for the book and not for this item. Also, these don't even come close to being "the best" of her work; they were written very early in her career and her skill did increase over the next few decades.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short Stories from Darkover to Lythande..., July 17, 2000
This book presents us to several short stories written by MZB with her incredible imagination, showing many different worlds, going from Earth to Darkover. You can read one story telling about the renunciants organization(Darkover), another one is about Lythande (a blue star magician with a secret). In my opinion, the best short story in this book, is the one about the Centauru's Children - where having a baby is the same to a death sentence to the mother... Well everyone can decide what is the most interesting of the 15 short stories of this book and vote in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good read, February 7, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. MZB says short stories are not her forte but these are terrific. In addition, they include lots of sci fi. I am used to reading her fantasy genre. I thought these were top quality.
