"For two centuries women writers, turning to the world of imagination to express themselves, have produced outstanding fantasy tal es. In this collection Joan Aiken takes us to a future where sunlight never filters through; Madame Blavatsky takes us into the past when a young man experiments with the occult; E. Nesbit takes us to a more romantic past where death waits for t h e unwary in a summerhouse, and Jane Roberts tells of a reincarnation that is more like possession. The vigor and originality of the women writers represented in this collection point up the humor in their designation as 'the gentle sex'. Info rm at iv e introductions to each story and biographical notes make this a collection to treasure as well as to enjoy."
