From the epic of Gilgamesh, almost two thousand years BCE, to the modern fantasies
of Stephen King's Dark Tower series and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, authors have
created fictional realms that have captivated audiences. Miller has guided a team
of writers to unlock the mysteries and meanings of nearly 100 fantastical lands. The
essays explore the contemporary events and circumstances that influenced each work,
and examine how elements of the author's life were relevant to the creation of the
story
