Description
The Rivendell Discussion with Brian Attebery this past January focused on chapter two of his Mythopoeic Scholarship Awarded book last year, Fantasy: How It Works, in which he discussed the parallels between Edward Eager’s fantasy story, Half Magic and Elizabeth Enright’s family story, The Saturdays. Attebery’s discussion raises all sorts of interesting questions about these literary forms and overlap, and we wandered into discussion of how too much of this great literature for children has already been forgotten, though it was formational for so many of our current Fantasy writers (along with that of the earlier First Golden Age). Books by writers like Patricia Wrightson and Mollie Hunter and Madeleine L’Engle and Alan Garner and Susan Cooper and Robert Lawson and so many more.
