TALES BEFORE TOLKIEN: THE ROOTS OF MODERN FANTASY, Ballantine Books
"All stories are previously published, save for the fairy play by David Lindsay (author of A VOYAGE TO ARCTURUS) which appears in print for the first time. The book has a sort of dual aim-- to reprint rare stories that specifically inspired Tolkien, and to represent the field as it was before The Hobbit was published in 1937."
