Description: "Unlike previous guides to the genre, this title presents in-depth coverage of 36 19th- and 20th-century American and British authors and their 100-plus works of fantasy. Authors, books, characters, places, and magical objects are listed alphabetically for ease of access. Thorough indexing and cross-references are a bonus. Entries on books present plot synopses and bibliographic information on first editions. Author entries, including such favorites as Susan Cooper, E.B. White, and Lloyd Alexander, provide capsulized biographies, brief discussions of the major themes in full-length fantasies, a bibliography of primary works, and another bibliography of selected critical studies."
