5.0 out of 5 stars
Astute, intelligent supernatural collection,
This review is from: Great tales of fantasy and imagination (Hardcover)
I bought this text in 1965 and read it repeatedly until it had fallen apart completely by 1976. Van Doren Stern makes an astute selection of stories that combine a touch of supernatural or eeriness with a true sense of atmosphere--several from writers distinguished for other styles; i.e., Forster's Celestial Omnibus, Stevenson's The Bottle Imp, O. Henry's Three Roads [I think that's the title], Kipling's Wireless [which, however, I found dull at the time], as well as pieces by canonical fantasy writers De La Mare, Dunsany, and Poe.
I don't know if Van Doren Stern is from the intellectual blue-blooded Van Doren family; seems he's more likely to be from the Stern family.
