My way in to a life long passion for the written word was through stuff like the Brothers Grimm, all the classic Victorian supernatural fiction by all the writers he totes no less, George MacDonald, Alfred Dunsany, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. I was blessed with a few adults as a child who saw my passion for the weird and fantastic and feed it. If it was not for these writers I would never have grown up to be an english professor.
