The Age of the Storytellers has just arrived at Oak Knoll! The Age of the Storytellers is the first reference guide to consider in detail the magazines from the golden age of storytelling. The years from 1880 to 1950 saw the creation of many famous fictional characters from Sherlock Holmes to Winnie The Pooh; by authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling. It was a time that coincided with the glory of the popular monthly illustrated magazine, typified by The Strand, which set the standard for popular fiction. This exciting title provides coverage of 144 titles, charting their contribution to and influence upon popular literature. There are illustrations reproducing covers and features from every magazine, with 72 color images. This book also considers the collecting significance of these titles and will be of importance to collectors and bookdealers as well as literary researchers and bibliophiles. The author, Mike Ashley, has spent over forty years researching popular literature in all its forms. He has published over seventy books including The Biography of Algernon Blackwood, Starlight Man, Studies of the Development of the Science-Fiction Magazine, The Time Machines and Transformations, and the award-winning Mammoth Encyclopedia of Modern Crime Fiction. 2005, Hardcover, 9.5 x 7.5 inches, 320 pages with 72 color and 60 b/w illustrations ISBN 158456170X, Book No. 089477, Price: $95.00
