My Grandfather had an abiding love of fantasy fiction that he sucessfully transferred to me. Howard, Burroughs, Brackett, Zelazny, Cherryh, Farmer, Cook, Anderson, Moorcock & so many others graced his bookshelves. Some of those books are still with me. Many others I thought I had lost.
Planet Stories is doing a great service to the gaming and fantasy community by re-publishing these works. It is not all Tolkien! There is a deep and broad pulpy narrative history that much of our game and current fiction is drawn from.
Some of these books clearly draw from another time and sense of gender and polity. However, all have something to say about what we consider brave and what it takes to face the darkness.
Thank you for helping me find some of the lost stories of my youth.

Thank _you_ for taking the time to post!
It's really an honor to get to bring this line to light. Almost all of my own "free" reading time these days is spent evaluating classic fantasy and science fiction tales for inclusion in the line, and I am loving every second of it (even if the stories are not that great).
Thanks again for your post! Suggestions for which of "the canon" to republish are, of course, always welcome!
