Lin Carter
(Linwood Vrooman Carter)
(1930 - 1988)aka H P Lowcraft, Grail Undwin
If J R R Tolkien was the single author most responsible for the existence of Fantasy as a modern publishing genre then the single editor and critic with the same claim was Lin Carter. His tireless advocacy of both modern fantasy writers and their historical forbears as the first editor on the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series was hugely influential.

Lin Carter recommends
Ironbrand (1980)
(Iron Angel, book 1)
John Morressy
"Crisp, vivid, exciting. A brilliant heroic fantasy debut."
Merlin's Ring (1974)
(Merlin's Godson, book 3)
H Warner Munn
"Seldom have I encountered a more ambitious narrative in my exploration of fantasy, and seldom has a gripping human drama of such strength and vigor invested a story of such sweep and scope and vaulting imaginative power."
The Legion of Time (1938)
(Legion of Time, book 1)
Jack Williamson
"The Legion of Time is an unparalleled classic of thrill packed excitement - possibly the greatest single adventure story in science-fiction history, a suspense-masterpiece of weird science and derring-do, like no other I've read. I deeply envy anyone who is reading it for the first time."
