Description

Each of the three tales of imagination in this book is by a master of the art, and in each there is incident and invention enough to surpass most full-length novels. ‘Envoy Extraordinary’ by William Golding Tells of a barbarian genius who arrives in ancient Rome with three inventions—and the results are appalling. “Consider Her Ways’ by John Wyndham Presents a shocking and utterly convincing picture of a world of women—without men. ‘Boy in Darkness’ by Mervyn Peake Is a venture into a dream-like world of strangeness and terror—quite unlike anything you have ever read, and unforgettable.
