R. Martin are both informed by and differ significantly from real historical figures, events, beliefs, and practices of the medieval world. From a variety of perspectives, the authors delve into Martin's plots, characterizations, and settings, offering insights into whether his creations are historical possibilities or pure flights of fantasy." -- $c Amazon. 630 00 $a Game of thrones (Television program) 600 10 $a Martin, George R.
