"Absolutely epic"

Review by Krystal on 21st March, 2012

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good for fantasy writers hoping to identify and avoid cliches (or for ones who purposefully go for them / make fun of them), and quite entertaining for any spaztic fantasy fan. The only drawback is that reading it all in order feels like reading the dictionary ~ it's best to try look up stuff you feel are interesting, and then glance at nearby stuff as well. Eventually you'll have read the whole thing.

Description

The definitive edition of a cult classic by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones. Imagine that all fantasy novels—the ones featuring dragons, knights, wizards, and magic—are set in the same place. That place is called Fantasyland. The Tough Guide to Fantasyland is your travel guide, a handbook to everything you might find: Evil, the Dark Lord, Stew, Boots (but not Socks), and what passes for Economics and Ecology. Both a hilarious send-up of the cliches of the genre and an indispensable guide for writers, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland has been nearly impossible to find for years. Now this cult classic is back, and readers can experience Diana Wynne Jones at her very best: incisive, funny, and wildly imaginative. This is the definitive edition of The Tough Guide, featuring a new map, an entirely new design, and additional material written for it by Diana Wynne Jones.World Fantasy Award Finalist A Hugo Award Finalist (Nonfiction)
