Comments

This collection brings together all of the Majipoor stories that had not been previously published in book form. It fills in various niches of the planet's history, including some figures who had been mentioned in previous stories. Unlike Majipoor Chronicles, there is no framing story woven between the individual tales to tie them together, but it's not missed at all.
