The grammar of fantasy : an introduction to the art of inventing stories
Gianni Rodari (Author), Matthew Forsythe (Illustrator), Jack Zipes (Translator)
"From Gianni Rodari, the visionary Italian children's author of the 20th century and recipient of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, comes a collection of essays on fairy tales, folk tales, creation, and the imagination. Replete with inventive teaching strategies and unconventional thought experiments, Rodari gives credence to fantasy as a way of life. In this edition, wonderfully translated by Jack Zipes, one of the US's foremost experts on children's literature, and illustrated for the first time ever, lovers of literature, language, and writing of all ages will find a wellspring of inspiration."-- Provided by publisher
