This book does quite a competent job of summing up the fantasy genre as it existed up to the time of publication (1982) , describing both major and minor authors, with helpful lists of their works, lists of the winners of British and American fantasy awards, a sensible attempt to define the fantasy genre and differentiate it from science fiction and horror (though it does include a far amount of what I would call horror) and something of its historical background. The only significant error I have caught is that it spells Doctor Dolittle "Doolittle" in its discussion of Hugh Lofting.… (altro)

I have an absurd amount of affection for this little book. I first purchased a copy in the early-mid-1990s, before I had Internet access, and it was (and still is) an enormously helpful resource. I recently left my old copy out when I was looking up information on an author in it and my cat got ahold of it and tore it to shreds; I immediately got on Amazon Marketplace and purchased another copy. It will probably have a space on my bookshelf for as long as I have one.
