Reviews"This is an invigorating look at some of today's most prominent fantasists, and fantasy lovers as well as those seeking a handle on the genre will appreciate this approach. Each chapter in this volume concludes with extensive notes and suggestions for further reading; the LeGuin and Pullman chapters include biographies of the authors." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, 2002
