{"product_id":"a-short-history-of-fantasy-9781907471667","title":"A Short History of Fantasy","description":"Some of the earliest books ever written, including \u003ci\u003eThe Epic of Gilgamesh\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, deal with monsters, marvels, extraordinary voyages, and magic, and this genre, known as fantasy, remained an essential part of European literature through the rise of the modern realist novel. Tracing the history of fantasy from the earliest years through to the origins of modern fantasy in the 20th century, this account discusses contributions decade by decade--from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and Lewis's Narnia books in the 1950s to J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. It also discusses and explains fantasy's continuing and growing popularity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libri Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907471667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Farah Mendlesohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36670169841820,"sku":"9781907471667","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_65381141-b7f1-4da4-b08d-de4d42574b10.jpg?v=1603922011","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-short-history-of-fantasy-9781907471667","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
