modern-fantasy-the-100-best-novels | SF Gateway - Your Portal to the Classics of SF & Fantasy

Pringle presents his selections in chronological order and includes a synopsis of the story, a discussion of the author’s overall contribution to fantasy literature, critical commentary on the title’s significance, and a brief publishing history. An introductory essay tackles the difficulty of defining fantasy, while a “Brief Bibliography” directs readers to other discussions of the genre. By no means a definitive subject guide, this entertaining volume should serve as a solid introduction to the elusive field of imaginative literature.
