The Sorcerer's Ship

Bok 1

An omnibus hardcover of Hannes Bok's three solo fantasy novels: The Sorcerer's Ship, Beyond The Golden Stair and Starstone World. Both The Sorcerer's Ship and Beyond the Golden Stair were previously published as part of Ballantine Books' Adult Fantasy paperback line. Starstone World, is a much shorter and darker piece, which has never been reprinted since it appeared in Science Fiction Quarterly #7, [Summer of 1942], over 75 years ago. These aren't your conventional fantasies, although all the trappings are there. His novels have a sly humor with plots containing unconventional twists and turns; a strange metaphysical bent; and his artist's talent for glorious description.

The Fantastic Fiction of Hannes Bok

The most massive and comprehensive collection of Hannes Bok's work ever published, with dozens of new paintings never before seen.

A Life in Illustration

Hannes Bok's paintings, woodcarvings, and illustrations captured the imagination of science fiction readers for 30 years, arguably the peak period of the genre. Bok achieved a luminous, stained-glass quality in his work through the use of an arduous glazing process, reminiscent of the work of his early mentor, Maxfield Parrish. Hannes Bok's fantastic illustrations graced the pages of many major science fiction magazines and books. A Hannes Bok Treasury features 45 full color and 50 distinctive black and white illustrations, including previously unpublished paintings and drawings. Also reproduced here are rare samples of Bok's work in costume design and his elaborate paper mache masks. This unique showcase edition is for every fan of science fiction and fantastic art.
