Review: The Writer's Guide to Fantasy Literature: From Dragon's Lair to Hero's Quest

The Writer's Guide to Fantasy Literature: From Dragon's Lair to Hero's Quest by Philip Martin
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book consists of the "main" body of text written by Philip Martin and a bunch of interviews. The interviews with different authors are all different, some bad, some worse, some ok, but the overall idea is irrelevant. The book is a sketch of the history of fantasy literature through the prism of Christianity. For some periods and places it's of course proper, but in most cases those analogies cause stupor and/or mild surprise.
