About the Book
A collection of 11 fantasy stories and 20 essays concerning fantasy.
Isaac Asimov and science fiction are one and the same to millions of readers. He was the field's transcendent genius, its reigning prophet, its genial patriarch, and
its most prolific author. But Asimov also wrote fantasy, and invariably of an enduring quality. Magic is his final original
collection, containing all of his uncollected fantasy stories that have never before appeared in book form.
In addition, this farewell
collection of Asimov's writings also includes his thoughts on the genre
of fantasy itself. Here are the fascinating musings of a wide ranging
intelligence, discussing everything from Tolkien to Spielberg, from
Unicorns to King Arthur, from the difference between maidens and damsels to the speed of Seven League Boots - scientifically calculated at last!
