Fantasy is the most prominent of all the major fictional genres. It dominates the world of popular fiction, has spawned major industries in role-playing and trading-card games and has resulted in some of Hollywood's best-loved movies, from
The Wizard of Oz
to
The Lord of the Rings
and
Harry Potter
and
Narnia
have introduced yet another generation to the genre. This book is the most detailed, well-researched and attractive of its kind, detailing everything the layman needs to know about fantasy and everything the well-read fan is calling out for. It is edited by leading fantasy expert David Pringle and fully updated for 2006 to include the hit books, movies and games of the past three years. It is a beautifully detailed, informative, up-to-date and useful guide to everything in the world of fantasy, from "Tolkien" to "Constantine".

A masked terrorist has brought London to its knees -- there are bombs inside books, and nobody knows which ones. On the day of the launch of the first expedition to Mars, by giant cannon, he outdoes himself with an audacious attack. For young poet Orphan, trapped in the screaming audience, it seems his destiny is entwined with that of the shadowy terrorist, but how? Like a steam-powered take on V for Vendetta, rich with satire and slashed through with automatons, giant lizards, pirates, airships and wild adventure, The Bookman is the first of a series.
