Most of the other stories have seldom been collected elsewhere. Several are stories where Farmer writes the book as though another writer, usually a fictional author from someone else's writing.

Some stories include a raunchy vocabulary, but they are not quite explicit enough to say adult only content

Two Hawks From Earth
by Philip Jose FarmerFarmer writes: This novel was first published in 1966 and then in 1971 as The Gate of Time. That was not my title. I have no idea why the editors changed it, since this is not a time-travel tale, and their tale certainly was misleading. So I have restored the original, Two Hawks From Earth. The editors of that house also rewrote a scene to bowdlerize it. This was done without my knowledge, and so I have restored that scene. Also, I have added about ten thousand words. These include some chapters which go beyond the original ending.

The Faerie Queene
by Edmund Spenser Thomas P. Roche Jr. C. Patrick O'Donnell Jr.The Faerie Queene was one of the most influential poems in the English language. Dedicating his work to Elizabeth I, Spenser brilliantly united Arthurian romance and Italian renaissance epic to celebrate the glory of the Virgin Queen. Each book of the poem recounts the quest of a knight to achieve a virtue: the Red Crosse Knight of Holinesse, who must slay a dragon and free himself from the witch Duessa; Sir Guyon, Knight of Temperance, who escapes the Cave of Mammon and destroys Acrasiar's Bowre of Bliss; and the lady-knight Britomart's search for her Sir Artegall, revealed to her in an enchanted mirror. Although composed as a moral and political allegory, The Faerie Queene's magical atmosphere captivated the imaginations of later poets from Milton to the Victorians. This edition includes the letter to Raleigh, in which Spenser declares his intentions for his poem, the commendatory verses by Spenser's contemporaries and his dedicatory sonnets to the Elizabethan court, and is supplemented by a table of dates and a glossary.
