ISBN: 9780786494651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Beginning with S.T. Coleridge's theories of the imagination as embodied in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the book moves on to explore standard mythopoeic fantasists such as George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R....
