Fantasy Authors

Designed for students, readers' advisors, fantasy fans, and other researchers, this guide is a launching point for researching popular fantasy authors (and their work) and finding new ones. It includes entries for approximately 100 leading contemporary and popular authors. Each entry includes: * a brief biographical sketch, including a quote from the authors and their major awards * a list of the authors' major works * research sources - biographies, interviews, criticism, research guides, a wealth of Web sites, and blogs In addition, you'll find more than 20 author "read-alike" lists. You'll want two copies--one for the readers' advisory or reference desk, and one to circulate!
