- Poul Anderson. An unlikely hero washes ashore on an island rich in the legends that populate literary history. The result is an adventure novel unlike any other, involving encounters with Robin Hood, Don Quixote, Beowulf, and the Green Knight, among other fictional luminaries. Larry Niven praised this unique fantasy world as "lifelike, but bigger than life ... and I went through it like a tourist in Paradise."
