Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For Legend, acclaimed writer and editor Robert Silverberg gathered together 11 of the finest writers in fantasy to contribute to a collection of short novels. Each of the writers was asked to write a new story based on one of his or her most famous series, and the results are wonderful. From Stephen King's opening piece set in his popular Gunslinger universe to Robert Jordan's early look at his famed Wheel of Time saga, each of these stories is exceptionally well written and universally well told. The authors here include King, Jordan, and Silverberg himself, as well as Terry and Lyn Pratchett, Terry Goodkind, Orson Scott Card, Ursula K Le Guin, Tad Williams, George RR Martin, Anne McCaffrey and Raymond E Feist. This is not only a great book in and of itself, but it's also a perfect way for fantasy fans to find new novels and authorsto add to their "to-read" lists. --Craig E Engler
Review
‘The biggest names in contemporary fantasy have written novellas set in their most popular worlds. Fortunately, the standard matches the notion; maybe the contributors were spurred on by group rivalry’
Time Out
‘An essential buy for every fantasy fan’
SFX
‘A dream team of fantastic fantasy’
USA Today
‘A stellar compilation’

I like short stories. They give you an opportunity to get to learn writers you didn't know yet. And these stories, well, if you like fantasy, any fantasy, then you'll just love these since they're by the best fantasy writers around. I especially liked the stories by Robert Silverberg, Orson Scott Card and Raymond E. Feist.
One thing though : when you search for a book called 'Legends' you'll notice that there are many books with this title. This is why. The first book contained 11 stories. And then the publisher decided to split them into two, so now there is one book that contains 5 stories and one that has 6 (which is this one and was published some months after the other one). It confused me when I ordered the book containing 5 stories 'cause in the description they spoke of 11 stories.
Anyway, they're nice stories, enjoy them !
