Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library

Presumably under the inspiration of the earlier example set by the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series, the series reissued a number of works of fantasy literature that had largely been forgotten, being out of print or otherwise not easily available in the United States, in durable, illustrated trade paperback form with new introductions.

[2] The Library was produced under the editorship of Robert Reginald and Douglas Menville, editors of Forgotten Fantasy magazine, who were also responsible for several other similar series from other publishers.

[3] It included works by authors such as William Morris, H. Rider Haggard, Lord Dunsany, and Leslie Barringer, among others.

Projected to include a total of twenty-six fantasy classics, the Library ultimately released only twenty-four.

[3] The ninth book onward featured more imaginative, wrap around art, and two of the first eight (She and Allan and Gerfalcon) were later reissued in this style.
