Includes a premier Harold Shea novelette ("The Wall of Serpents") by sci-fi icons L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt, alongside stellar pieces by Poul Anderson and John Wyndham. The stunning, surreal cover illustration by legendary fantasy artist Hannes Bok delivers incredible visual appeal and makes it a striking display piece for any collection.

The front cover shows edge and corner damage and creasing, while the back cover only shows moderate wear. The spine reads 'Fantasy and Science Fiction, Vol. 2 No. 5, October 1951,' which may indicate a mismatch or reuse of covers between issues.
