From one of the masters of SF comes this new collection of stories, all set on his most famous creation - the massive world of Majipoor. Spanning all of the world's history, these stories will illuminate and explore the remarkable setting that has enthralled so many over the years. Two of these stories were originally published in the Legends series of short story collections, and have been unavilable for some time.
