Phantoms and Fancies

Poetry by Lyon Sprague de Camp

Blurb

Phantoms and Fancies is a 1972 collection of poetry by science fiction and fantasy author L. Sprague de Camp, illustrated by Tim Kirk. It was published by Mirage Press.
The book contains most of the poems from de Camp's earlier collection, Demons and Dinosaurs, though the arrangement is different in the current collection, along with a substantial number of additional poems. Most of the poems in the collection were also incorporated into de Camp's later poetry collection, Heroes and Hobgoblins, though again with a different arrangement.
The poems "African Night," "Beholder," "Delra Beach, Florida," "Farewell to Adam," "Glamour," the nine "Jorian's Jingles," "The Ghost," "The Irish," and "To My Library" are unique to this collection.
"Acrophobia," "Heroes," "Night," "Time," and "To R.E.H." are shared with Demons and Dinosaurs only.
