I’m not even sure where I first picked up one of MZB’s Sword and Sorceress books. All I know is I was hooked with the first one. It took me several years to collect all 21, but I loved each one. Some years are better than other, and there are a few stories that I have never forgotten, but over all, you can’t go wrong reading this entire set!
Still reading my way through the volumes I'd collected of this series. Lots of good fantasy stories here, especially some of the comedic ones. Lots of familiar authors from past collections.
More sequels to favourite stories...I should list the ones I like best. I started this series with number 22-25 in which I first read the mage squirrel and other stories. Going back and starting from number 1 I got introduced to the first stories in each series that I really enjoyed in those later books. Many good stories in this particular issue of S&S.
