A Short History of Fantasy by Farah Mendlesohn, Edward James
4.0
This book is a great resource for fantasy fans. It has provided me with an extensive list of resources to read in the future as well as a background on some of the most influential authors. I would be interested to reread this book in a few years after I've read some more of the writers they suggested because at times I felt a little lost in my ignorance.
This book is very short, but in just over 200 pages I gained more insight into the genre than I expected. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about fantasy. If it sounds like it'll be of interest to you, you will most likely enjoy it as much as I did.
