Description
This third
volume continues the publishing program to collect the
stories of Science Fiction Grand Master Jack Williamson.
Drawn
from such classic pulp magazines as Astounding
Stories, Weird Tales,
Wonder Stories, Amazing Stories, and Thrilling Mystery, this volume
features sixteen tales (including a novel-length adventure, "Xandulu"),
seven of which have never been published in book form.
The book
is smythe-sewn, bound in full cloth, and printed on acid-neutral paper,
with full-color endpapers reproducing the original pulp magazine cover
art.
With a foreword by author, and long-time friend of
Williamson, Ray Bradbury, Wizard's
Isle contains the sense of wonder
from the early years of American Science Fiction and continues the
documentation of Williamson's unparalleled career.
