Such anthology, Companion volume

[edit]

As I understand the text, the first 22 volumes of Ballantine Adult Fantasy contain three "such anthology assembled by Carter", of which this one and another are "companion volumes" and the other is not. Does that mean two are marketed as companion volumes, whereas our editors notice that three are in fact anthologies ed. by Carter? --P64 (talk) 19:04, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

... In collection article The Young Magicians we provide more explanation, which I understand to mean the simultaneous volumes #6 and #7 are companions in another respect, and ... #22 and #35 are continuations of each --more or less, as "18th to 20th century" is a reasonable source of "modern" fantasies. --P64 (talk) 19:11, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of the anthologies of "classic" fantasy short stories published as part of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series could be considered to form a kind of sub-series, though obviously they were not numbered as such, or necessarily formal "sequels" to each other...

Is #35 the last of them? At Talk:New Worlds for Old#Companion volume, modern, I wondered whether "this volume #35 with its 18th-20th scope actually contains all of the leftovers that Carter deemed most valuable to the series." (As Carter and Ballantine are deceased, however, we can't know what Carter deemed to say it just so.) --P64 (talk) 00:07, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
