From Library Journal:

Here are two fantasy anthologies that together effectively represent past and present examples of the genre. The Book of Fantasy contains 79 stories and poems from many sources. Originally published nearly 50 years ago in Argentina, updated in 1965, and available in English for the first time, this collection is based entirely on the editors' preferences, with contents ranging from light fantasy to grim horror. Though 19th-century classics predominate, there are many lesser known offerings from locales as diverse as South America and ancient China. In contrast, The Year's Best Fantasy is a new anthology made up entirely of the best stories and poems in 1987 American publications, offering over 35 examples of modern fantasy and horror from such authors as Joyce Carol Oates, Harlan Ellison, and Ursula Le Guin. This volume, intended as a companion to The Year's Best Science Fiction (St. Martin ' s), also includes two excellent summaries of fantasy and horror in 1987. Recommended. C.
