The Literary Fantasy Bundle is nine tremendous books curated by author Keith Brooke, and includes the award-winning novella ‘The Ragthorn’, written by Garry Kilworth and Robert Holdstock.
What is literary fantasy? Brooke explains:
“It’s elusive concept, perhaps – what marks ‘literary’ fantasy out from, simply, good fantasy, for starters? – but one that seemed to encompass the kind of books we wanted to offer: fantastical fiction with a sense of the magical and spiritual, written with a literary sensibility, by which we mean fiction with a love of language and an awareness of its place in the literary canon. As you’ll see from the books we’ve gathered together, that definition is deliberately elastic, inclusive rather than exclusive, yet still clear enough to form a coherence to the set as a whole.”
