Description
Margaret Mahy's extraordinary young-adult novels are examined by leading scholars in this collection of critical essays. Considering the ways that fantasy provides both adventure and security for adolescents, the discussion centers on the role of witches, pirates, ghosts, and tricksters in Mahy's tales.
