The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: The Essential Guide to Fantasy Travel

<b>The definitive edition of a cult classic by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones.</b><br><br>Imagine that all fantasy novels€"the ones featuring dragons, knights, wizards, and magic€"are set in the same place. That place is called Fantasyland. <i>The Tough Guide to Fantasyland</i> is your travel guide, a handbook to everything you might find: Evil, the Dark Lord, Stew, Boots (but not Socks), and what passes for Economics and Ecology. Both a hilarious send-up of the cliches of the genre and an indispensable guide for writers, <i>The Tough Guide to Fantasyland</i> has been nearly impossible to find for years. Now this cult classic is back, and readers can experience Diana Wynne Jones at her very best: incisive, funny, and wildly imaginative. This is the definitive edition of The Tough Guide, featuring a new map, an entirely new design, and additional material written for it by Diana Wynne Jones.<p><b>World Fantasy Award Finalist</b></p><p><b>A Hugo Award Finalist (Nonfiction)</b></p>
