The 1988 Viking Penguin edition for English-speaking countries includes a foreword by Ursula K. Le Guin. According to Le Guin's introduction, the idea and inspiration for this volume came into being "one night in 1937 in Buenos Aires, when Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Silvina Ocampo fell to talking - so Casares tells us - 'about fantastic literature. ..simply a compilation of stories from fantastic literature which seemed to us to be the best.'"
