I had no idea what to get my dad for Fathers Day, so I went online searching with that key phrase and found a list of books dads might enjoy. I always get my books on desertcart, it's very rare that anyone else will have a better price. But here's the clincher, as usual I wait until the last minute for gifts and desertcart always saves the day with their unbeatable shipping time and price! Since my dad is in my desertcart address contacts it couldn't have been easier, and for the guy who is extremely hard to shop for this book actually tickled his fancy. He doesn't read that much so a novel was out of the question. This is a nice collection of stories, with ample variety, it will hopefully keep him entertained enough to get through the whole book someday. (I'll get back to the review then.) Review: Great collection of short adventures! - Many old classic writers here with some of their best short stories. I have not read it yet, as my husband just finished it and lent it out. This is what he said about it,,,,, Perfect book to take on a vacation too, as you can put it down and move on to another story as you have time for. We will keep this book in our library, as its something that guests can borrow when there is a rainy day or an interlude in the summer activities. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,250,919 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,428 in Classic Action & Adventure (Books) #6,701 in Short Stories Anthologies #10,340 in Mystery Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (73) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.44 x 9.1 inches | | ISBN-10 | 030747450X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0307474506 | | Item Weight | 2.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 896 pages | | Publication date | May 31, 2011 | | Publisher | Vintage | ## Images ![The Big Book of Adventure Stories: The Most Daring, Dangerous, and Death-Defying Collection of Adventure Tales EverCaptured in One Mammoth Volume - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vDi557YRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dad day gift *by Z***R on June 27, 2012* This one worked out great!

I have not read it yet, as my husband just finished it and lent it out. This is what he said about it,,,,, Perfect book to take on a vacation too, as you can put it down and move on to another story as you have time for.

Like other volumes in his "Big Book" collection, Penzler has assembled a gargantuan trove of pure adventures by classic masters of the genre. Keep in mind, of course, that these stories are a product of their times (Preston and Penzler address this fact in the foreword and introduction respectively), meaning this: if you're easily offended by almost comically out-dated stereotypes, then this tome and others of its ilk are not for you. If, on the other hand, you are the type of person who loves Indiana Jones movies and the old-school gusto associated with the Age of Exploration and you aren't familiar with the table of contents, consider this a valuable primer (and if they are familiar, consider it a convenient collection of old favorites). If you're on the fence about whether or not it's a worthy addition to your library, consider the 47 tales contained within a sampler - there is bound to be one story among them that you've never heard, or at the very least you will find interesting enough to investigate a new author. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11029705-the-big-book-of-adventure-stories-the-most-daring-dangerous](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11029705-the-big-book-of-adventure-stories-the-most-daring-dangerous) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
