Haunting landscapes, mythical creatures, and a style that stirred the new gothic revival: that is the enchanted world of Anne Sudworth. Finally, here is a comprehensive collection of her marvelous works, along with a selection of studies and roughs, an appendix featuring an illustrated treatment of her techniques, and incisive commentary by both award-winning writer John Grant and the artist herself. Anne Sudworth presented her landmark exhibition 'Visions and Views' in 1993, devoted to her more imaginative and fantastical works. The triumph of this exhibition led her to devote her energies almost exclusively to fantasy and now, while continuing to display her work to great acclaim in orthodox galleries, she shows also with equal success at fantasy and science-fiction conventions. John Grant is the author of Encyclopaedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters. Technical Editor of the Clute/Nicholls' Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction (for which he shared a rare BSFA Special Award), co-editor with John Clute of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and co-author with Ron Tiner of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and Science Fiction Art Techniques.

Millions of years before the emergence of humankind, the great dragon civilization dominated this world. It left few traces behind save legends and one mighty structure: Dragonhenge. The dragons were profound storytellers, and collected here are tales from their oral mythology. Hugo Award winners pool their talents in Dragonhenge, an illustrated collection of eight tales and a Proem that celebrate the ancient dragon civilization.

As one of the most strikingly original lyricists going, its entirely unsurprising that John Grant has a life-long interest in language and languagesfrom the academic solace he found in his school days upon discovering his talent for German, through to his love of Russian and the Icelandic language of his current home, Grant has found succour, relief and stimulation in words and how they work. In this fascinating interview with the writer Will Burns, John Grants passion for language provides the foundations for hilarious and heartbreaking digressions on his own life, on politics, on history, on music and much moreJohn Grant On Language functions as a compelling and unique portrait of an artist in, and through, words.

Far, far in the future, many billions of years after humankind and all other forms of life have gone, when the Universe itself is beginning to fall towards its death, only the Stardragons are left to move across the infinite tracts of space. With breath of nuclear fire and broad wings to harvest the energies of starlight, these creatures are on an epic journey. They know the Universe is dying. They know, too, that once on one particular planet, there lived another dragon race who, before their own extinction, constructed a great edifice holding the key to life. It is to this structure, called Dragonhenge, that the Stardragons are now slowly returning...
