Excellent Intro,
I’m teaching a high school fantasy literature course this fall and want to be able to offer students some historical context for our readings. A Short History of Fantasy is a perfect mix of history, authors, and texts. My students will benefit tremendously. The only down side is that I found another book I have to read on each page! If only there was more time.
