And For Writers: The Latest Speculative Fiction Writing Wroundup
I read Daniel Fox’s Wizard/Farmer/Princess book a few months ago; it’s a lot of fun. But calling it “historical” is, umm, wrong. It’s one of those “fluffy fantasies” set in a Neverland giving homage to and/or satirizing various tropes of the fantasy genre. “Hysterical” would be more accurate.
Thanks, Bruce. Noted and updated.
And I’m going to pretend that I have a strong enough grasp of history to know that Neverland was never a real place… I mean, wooden shoes and huge dykes? Come on.
