| Adopt-An-Author.com | | Fantasy Fiction Authors | Fantasy fiction has a long and honourable history. Often with it's roots in mythology and folklore, many writers have contributed to this popular genre.
Apart from acknowledging the contributions of Edgar Allan Poe, the American L Frank Baum with his Wizard of Oz series and the English author Lewis Carroll, the creator of Alice in Wonderland, were amongst the earlier fantasy fiction writers.
Robert E Howard, who wrote in the 1930's, was the creator of Conan the Barbarian. A prolific writer, he is generally known as the father of the Swords and Sorcery genre. This tradition was continued later by writers such as Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Another author who made a significant impact on the fantasy genre was JRR Tolkien, who published The Hobbit in 1937. The Lord of the Rings was published some 16 years later.
A resurgence in the popularity of fantasy led to many new offerings including works by Raymond E Feist and Mercedes Lackey.
A new trend has been humorous fantasy, of which there are many excellent modern works. See the likes of Tom Holt, Christopher Moore and Terry Pratchett.
