Note 1 — FANTASTICS AND OTHER FANCIES

Reading edition

Among the papers held by Dr. Gould is a memorandum of some of the "Fantastics," thus numbered:

1. Aïda. 2. Hiouen-Thsang. 3. El Vómito. 4. The Devil's Carbuncle. 5. A Hemisphere in a Woman's Hair. 6. The Clock. 7. The Fool and Venus. 8. The Stranger.

Two of these—"Aïda" and "Hiouen-Thsang"—were published under those titles. Some of the others we think we have identified among the pieces entitled simply "Fantastics" at the time of their publication. "The Fool and Venus" may have been meant for what we ave called "Aphrodite and the King's Prisoner." "The Clock" we have not found.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
