Isaac Asimov was the Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America, the founder of robot ethics, the world’s most prolific author of fiction and non-fiction. The Good Doctor’s fiction has been enjoyed by millions for more than half a century.
Isaac Asimov and science fiction are one and the same to millions of readers. He was the field's transcendent genius, its reigning prophet and its most prolific author. But Asimov also wrote fantasy. 'Magic' is his final original collection, containing all of his fantasy stories that have never before appeared in book form. Wry and witty, they carry his unique, personal stamp of rationalism and logic.
This final collection of Asimov's best loved fantasy stories assembles his most popular tales of the two centimetre demon Azazel, with his tiny red horns and technological expertise so far beyond our own as to seem like magic.
'Magic' is the last word on fantasy by the renowned science fiction author. Though Isaac Asimov had fun writing all his works, these are stories he wrote for fun. They are an essential part of his irreplaceable legacy.
