Tales Beyond Time

Tales Beyond Time: From Fantasy to Science Fiction is an anthology of fantasy and science fiction short stories, edited by American writers L. Sprague de Camp and Catherine Crook de Camp.

It was first published in hardcover by Lothrop Lee & Shepard in 1973,[1][2] and in paperback by William Morrow;[1] a large print edition followed from G. K. Hall & Co. in 1974.

[2] It was the second such anthology assembled by the de Camps, following their earlier 3000 Years of Fantasy and Science Fiction (1972).

Elizabeth Haynes in Library Journal notes that as an attempt "to introduce readers to fantasy and science fiction, ... this collection, intended for a younger age group then [sic] Asimov's Tomorrow's Children (Doubleday, 1966), will find a place in most collections."

"[3] Mary Virginia Gaver in Instructor writes: "Adult in tone and yet sixth grade in reading level, this excellent collection should be popular with children; a brief bibliography of "Longer stories too good to be missed" is an excellent guide to further reading by teachers and children alike.
