With a foreword by Neil Gaiman, introduction and interview by Charlie Butler, bibliography, and index. "Various threads run through this collection, but by far the strongest is that of the need for fantasy in all its many facets and its value for children and adults alike. It is my hope that some of these items will be of use to people."-Diana Wynne Jones "Her writings assembled in one place tell us how she thought about literature and the reasons for literature, about the place of children's fiction in the world, about the circumstances that shaped her and her own understanding and vision of who she was and what she did. It is ferociously intelligent, astonishingly readable, and as with so much that Diana Wynne Jones did, she makes each thing she writes, each explanation for why the world is as it is, look so easy."-Neil Gaiman"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 823.914 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 823.914 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 823.914 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
