Shadows of Imagination, Revised

“ Hillegas has produced a balanced vol­ume that must be regarded as the most important collection in recent years be­cause it does not limit itself to any one of the writers.” — Extrapolation

“ This is a standard book on the three fantasists whose works are noted as ap­pealing to ‘ literary intellectuals.’ ” — Reprint Bulletin
