Going all the way back to Homer's 'Odyssey', the 'quest' is a popular and well-respected story-telling format in Western literature. This volume collects classic quest stories, including tales from by Neil Gaiman and Marion Zimmer Bradley, and the Mercedes Lackey story 'The Cup and The Cauldron'.

Reviews

Publishers Weekly

In her rather inelegantly titled A Quest-Lover's Treasury of the Fantastic, Margaret Weis, coathor of the Dragonlance and Death Gate series, collects her favorite stories of brave missions and heroic undertakings. Whether it's Charles L. Fontenay's The Silk and the Song, in which a young human tries to free his fellow humans from enslavement to the tailed, four-fingered Hussirs, or Lois Tilton's Greek mythology inspired Firebearer, in which a young blacksmith tries to rescue the god who gave humans fire, we turn, writes Weis, to quest stories to learn how to be heroes of our own lives.
