F. Anstey — the pen name of Thomas Anstey Guthrie — was one of the Victorian era’s most inventive comic fantasists, best known for Vice Versa. The Talking Horse, and Other Tales collects his short fiction: stories in which magic, wish-fulfilment, and transformation serve as starting points for perfectly constructed comic situations that Anstey exploits with practised skill.
Witty, neatly plotted, and consistently entertaining, these tales are a reminder of how accomplished Victorian light fantasy could be at its best. Download this free EPUB and let F. Anstey talk you cheerfully into another world.
