Writing the Magic - diskuze

From Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones , over the last hundred years few genres have captured the public imagination as powerfully as fantasy. Whether it''s epic quests of dwarves and elves, wizards and paladins, or the influential childhood classics of Alan Garner and C.S. Lewis, the appetite among readers for all things magical seems insatiable. Pulling together a fellowship of some of the best writers of modern fantasy fiction, WRITING THE MAGIC invites you to step through the portal and discover what gives these tales such enduring appeal.
