Who has read works by him? Broken Sword is on my to-read stack and I'm also interested in his "midsummer tempest" which combines elemnets from Midsummer night's dream and the Tempest?

It's Poul, I know.

I've mainly read his sci-fi although he wrote a book called THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS(I think that's the correct title)wich MOORCOCK points out as being an inspiration for ELRIC and the concept of the anti-hero.

I got "Three Hearts and Three Lions" a couple of years ago and recently re-read it.
It's pure "magic" and a must read IMHO.

I've read lots of Poul Anderson through the years. Three Hearts and Three Lions is a perennial favorite. I also read his Harald Hardrada series, which is more historical fiction than fantasy. His science fiction is also excellent.

Hmm, three plugs for three hearts and three lions. I'll check that one out.

Broken Sword is excellent. Nice use of norse myths.

Read a work of his years ago, and have been unable to conjure the title from the wasteland of my blasted memory.

It dealt with the transposition of the son of a powerful wizard to a world of technical advancement - and consequently bringing over a child from that world into a land of magic and dragons.

Mr. Anderson was quite prolific. Given his span, I would think it safe to say he carried the banner for SF/F throughout the 20th century.

Those books you can't remember the name of are actually by ROGER ZELAZNY and are called CHANGELING and MADWAND.
