The Tough Guide To Fantasyland
''The Tough Guide To Fantasyland'' is a nonfiction book by the British author Diana Wynne Jones that humorously examines the common tropes of a broad swathe of fantasy fiction. The U.S. Library of Congress calls it a dictionary.〔Its dictionary subject subheadings are Children's stories, English and Fantasy fiction, English. ((LC catalogue entry ))〕 Yet it may be called a fictional or parody tourist guidebook. It was first published by Vista Books (London) in 1996. A revised and updated edition was completed in 2006 and published by Penguin (Firebird Books), first in the U.S.〔〔
Jones has written many fantasy novels, mainly for children or young adults, including some that simply rely upon and some that subvert common fantasy motifs. (The) ''Dark Lord of Derkholm'' (1998) is one that subverts and a conceptual sequel. It is set in a fantasy world that maintains the cliches detailed in the ''Tough Guide'' for the benefit of commercial tourism from our world.
==Origin==
The inside back cover of the revised edition is a 2006 postscript by Jones, "How I Came to Write This Guidebook".
While hospitalized in 1994, she and Chris Bell worked on projected entries for the ''The Encyclopedia of Fantasy'' (Clute & Grant, Orbit Books, 1997). "Our job was to decide whether each entry was necessary, to suggest new ones, to discuss whether some of the entries made sense (many didn't), and to provide examples in support of what each entry said."〔Revised ed., inside back cover.〕
