Summary
"Fantasy is storytelling with the beguiling power to transform the impossible into the imaginable and to reveal our own 'real' world in a fresh and truth-bearing light" writes Leanard S. Marcus. Marcus interviews thirteen master storytellers about their pivotal life experiences, their literary influences and work routines and their core beliefs about the place of fantasy in literature and our lives
