Summary note

"This first book-length study of critically acclaimed novelist Patricia A. McKillip's lyrical other-worlds analyzes her characters, environments and legends and their interplay with genre expectations. The author gives critical attention to McKillip's work and demonstrates how a broader understanding of world-building enables a deeper appreciation of her fantasies"-- Provided by publisher.
