Garrett's stories are interspersed with reminiscence of Garrett by writers such as Marion Zimmer Bradley, Issac Asimov, and Norman Spinrad. I wish I had read Garrett when I was younger. The stories tend toward the clever and humorous without really being about much of anything, which now more annoys me than amuses me. The reminiscences are interesting. For Lord Darcy fanciers there are two Darcy stories in this collection. ( )
