Summary

Avram Davidson, who died in 1993, was widely regarded as one of the most outstanding authors of short fantasy fiction of our time. The Other Nineteenth Centuryfocuses on his distinctive historical fantasies, tales of strange Mitteleuropas, of magic in Victorian England and on the American frontier. Witty, whimsical, dark and strange, these tales of times and places that almost were, will leave even the most jaded readers amazed. No one has ever written like Avram Davidson, before or since.
