My very first fantasy influence I can remember is Jim Henson. I watched Sesame Street way back in the late 70s and fell in love with Big Bird and Snuffleupagus. I know it’s not strictly fantasy, but this concept of imagination and pretend was a seed planted by Jim Henson which grew and blossomed deep into my childhood, from Fraggle Rock to Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. What’s your first memory of fantasy?

My first fantasy experience that I remember is reading Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears by Verna Aardema, and illustrated by the incredible Diane and Leo Dillon. Mother owl was so sad, so sad, and those illustrations have remained with me forever. I never doubted that animals talk because of this book!
