The outstanding feature of the books to me is the superb way in which they introduce a phenomenally wide vocabulary; a fundamental part of descriptive writing, but an area where inspiration can be sadly lacking - but not when these books are to hand! Fantasy is a hugely popular genre with young readers and the ideas in this book will really inspire them. A book not to be missed.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eSarah Brew, Parents in Touch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEY ELEMENTS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART A – SETTING\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1 HOOKS TO BUILD SUSPENSE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2 PORTALS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3 TUNNELS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART B – FANTASY CHARACTERS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4 HEIGHT \u0026amp; SHAPE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5 HEAD \u0026amp; FACE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6 EYES \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7 MOUTH, TEETH \u0026amp; EARS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 8 HAIR \u0026amp; FACIAL HAIR \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 9 HANDS \u0026amp; FINGERS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 10 VOICE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 11 CLOTHES \u0026amp; WEAPONS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART C – MAGIC\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 12 MAGICAL INSTRUMENTS \u0026amp; INGREDIENTS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 13 MAGICAL INTERACTION \u0026amp; REACTION \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART D – SIEGES \u0026amp; BATTLES \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 14 ATTACKING A CASTLE, FORTRESS, OR WALLED CITY \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 15 DEFENDING A CASTLE, FORTRESS OR WALLED CITY \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 16 DAMAGE \u0026amp; DESTRUCTION \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 17 BATTLE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 18 REACTION TO SIEGES \u0026amp; FIGHTING \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 19 REACTION TO INJURIES, WOUNDS \u0026amp; PAIN \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPENDIX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePLANNING A FANTASY STORY \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlot Planning Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHero Planning Sheet \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVillain Planning Sheet \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreature Planning Sheet \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasy Character Planning Sheet \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObject Planning Sheet \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS(C)IR - The Setting \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS(C)IR - Magic \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS(C)IR - Siege \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS(C)IR - Battles \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019534336343,"sku":"9781138858756","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138858756.jpg?v=1750780554","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/descriptosaurus-fantasy-9781138858756","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
