Fantasy of the 20th Century: An Illustrated History

From The Arabian Nights, Lord Dunsany's Time and the Gods and Henry Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines to the talented Hildebrandt brothers' depictions of Middle-earth, 1950s comic book versions of Conan the Conqueror and the glut of D&D culture in the 1970s, this beautiful book pays apt tribute to fantasy's leading lights. 450 full color images.
