      Feb 4, 2021

      Fantasy fiction, as a genre, has largely focused on the grand, the sweeping, the truly epic in scale. And in that way it’s not hard to argue that the field has taken much inspiration from the myths and tales of old – and rightly so. Using these class

      When I was a child a friend of the family loaned me their childhood copy of this book. I believe it probably ended after WWII. This edition has been updated and edited.It is still almost dangerously simplistic, not to mention very Euro/Christian-centric. Although as a child I didn't notice those things and it did spark my interest in history. It was interesting to go back and read as an adult.

      A masterpiece for a child , and a useful for an adult
