Reviews
On Aug 2 2015, a reader said:
This book contains several novellas by T.B.Swann, including "The Manor of Roses." This novella has already been reprinted a couple of times in books purporting to contain "classics of American fantasy writers." Set in what appears to be the late English medieval period, "The Manor of Roses" avoids virtually all the cliches of "medieval fantasy" lit, draws the reader into an enchanted world without excessive wordiness, depicts characters and conflict with clear-eyed compassion, and has a truly original, unexpected denouement (speaking as an avid reader with 60 yrs of fantasy reading experience). Even Gardner Dozois, the editor of dozens of science fiction anthologies and strong advocate of "hard SF," recommends this one . . .

About biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
