Fantasy provides an invaluable and accessible guide to the study of this fascinating field.

Covering literature, film, television, ballet, light opera and visual art and featuring a historical overview from Ovid to the Toy Story franchise, this book takes the reader through the key landmark moments in the development of fantasy criticism. This comprehensive guide examines fantasy and politics, fantasy and the erotic, quest narratives and animal fantasy for children. The versatility and cultural significance of fantasy is explored, alongside the important role fantasy plays in our understanding of 'the real', from childhood onwards.

Written in a clear, engaging style and featuring an extensive glossary of terms, this is the essential introduction to Fantasy.
