Robert A. Heinlein, the dean of American SF writers, also wrote fantasy fiction throughout his long career, especially in the early 1940s. The Golden Age of SF was also a time of revolution in fantasy fiction, and Heinlein was at the forefront. The Encyclopedia of Fantasy says, “Robert A. Heinlein's methodical approach to scientific extrapolation was equally effective when he bent to fantasy and supernatural fiction... Heinlein was one of the first writers to successfully meld the substance of SF and fantasy into an integral whole without compromising either genre.” Now all of Heinlein's best fantasy short stories, most of them long novellas, have been collected in one volume for the first time.
