Fantasy: Realms of Imagination

Our UK trip coincided with this exhibition, hurray! Divided into key areas of the fantasy genre the exhibition was filled with examples of notable texts, objects, audio, and handwritten drafts.


A few of my favourite authors were talking about the genre on screen.


Some of the things I was excited to see were;

The plate that inspired Alan Garner to write 'The Owl Service.


A beautiful collection of Andrew Lang's 'Fairy Books'.


A map drawn by Susanna Clarke for her book Piranesi.


The British Library has been under cyber attack. The website has been down for over a month. When we visted there were no electronic payments. I went back a day later to buy the book of essays.
