After the King Stories In Honor of J.R.R. Tolkien

With The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien in-vented modern fantasy. In honor of the 100th anniversary of his birth, a group of his literary descendants each contributed an original story to this anthology. Included are works by Stephen R. Donaldson, bestselling author of The One Tree; Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn; and Patricia S. McKillip, author of the Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy. Here also are tales from bestsellers Terry Pratchett, Andre Norton, and Dennis L. McKiernan; award-winners Robert Silverberg, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Mike Resnick, Gregory Benford, John Brunner, Poul & Karen Ander-son, and Barry N. Malzberg; masters such as Charles de Lint, Jane Yolen, Karen Haber, and Harry Turtledove; and two of modern fantasy's most acclaimed stars: Judith Tarr, author of The Dagger and the Cross, and Emma Bull, author of War for the Oaks.
