Books Update: Re-Working our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category: Poul Anderson and More
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category, listing our stock by Poul Anderson, award-winning American science fiction and fantasy writer of Scandinavian descent. Anderson came to fame as a writer of so-called ‘hard’ science fiction, which, although rooted in technology, was shot through with humanity. Later perhaps, he produced many works of fantasy of great merit. A selection of his books are featured here, alongside a Pan Ballantine Adult Fantasy, Orlando Furioso by Aristo, a translation of a 16th century epic fantasy; also, Gulliver Of Mars (new in) by Edwin L Arnold, an inspiration for Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Mars series, with a cover and interior art by Frank Frazetta.
