The Dictionary of Imaginary Places
Alberto Manguel, Gianni GuadalupiThe history & behavior of the inhabitants of these lands are described in loving detail, and are supplemented by more than 200 maps & illustrations that depict the lay of the land in a host of elsewheres. A must-have for the library of every dedicated reader, fantasy fan, or passionate browser, Dictionary is a witty & acute guide for any armchair traveler's journey into the landscape of the imagination.
"Since the publication of the first Dictionary in 1980, Manguel & Guadalupi, a translator & editor, have accepted suggestions from readers & continued their own research. The result is this updated version -- a book that includes imaginary terrains from ancient Greece to Harry Potter's Hogwarts. The authors have set a few limitations for inclusion: 'no heavens or hells, no places in the future, none outside the planet Earth, no pseudonymous places such as Wessex or Manawaka.' Even with those seemingly extensive restrictions, however, the dictionary runs over 700 pages.
Each place is described in detail as if it physically existed outside the reader's imagination. Entries are cross-referenced & See references are provided, as well as illustrations & maps that are difficult to locate elsewhere.
A valuable reference source to accompany fiction collections, this new edition is recommended for all school, public, & academic libraries." — Library Journal
