With a wide range of informative and entertaining sections covering every aspect of fantasy, The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Fantasy is the most comprehensive and lavish survey of the genre. Written by a team of experts, headed by renowned fantasy and science fiction editor/scholar David Pringle, this book looks at the characters, worlds and people that go to make up the field through books, magazines, films, television, and games.

The field of fantasy itself is as extensive and fascinating as any of the fictional universes it contains, and it is a challenge to know it all. From the work (and world) of JRR Tolkien and the writings of Terry Pratchett, to films like Labyrinth and Conan the Barbarian; from Neil Gaiman and H.G. Wells to television series like Wonder Woman and Highway to Heaven, this encyclopedia covers it all. Its entries trace the entire development of fantasy, from its origins and earliest roots through to the rich variety of modern forms, including sections on fantastic story-types and themes, fantasy movies and television series, major fantasy authors, characters, and fantasy games. Dungeons and Dragons is only the beginning -- fully indexed, this book contains a wealth of informative facts and fascinating background, as well as almost 200 photos. It is the one-stop resource for all fantasy enthusiasts.
