Contents

Aside from the short stories by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman taken mostly from different Tales and Dragons Anthologies and Dragon magazine itself,[1] the book also features short flashbacks by Jeff Grubb, Douglas Niles, Michael Williams, Jean Blashfield Black, and Jamie Chambers, mostly on how Dragonlance originally came to be. The anthology ends with an interview with Weis and Hickman about the history and future of the fictional world.[1]

Among the stories included in the anthology are "The Silken Threads", "True Knight", "The Traveling Players of Gilean", "Honor and Guile", and "The Story That Tasslehoff Promised He Would Never, Ever Tell".[1]

Reception

Ginger Armstrong of Kliatt magazine gave the anthology a positive review, saying that the stories were "fast-paced [and] addictive".[1] She felt the book would be enjoyable for both old fans and people new to the fictional world of Dragonlance, noting that the essays and interviews provided interesting background information.[1]

gollark: Yes, that was used in the older version.
gollark: They're pulled from my proprietary API.
gollark: No, top 1% of "OSes" on the forums etc.
gollark: I don't see why you wouldn't. After all, it displays fun quotes on startup, and it has a name, so by CC OS standards it's in the top 1%.
