I'd like to recommend The wand in the word: conversations with writers of fantasy, written and edited by Leonard S. Marcus (Candlewick, 2006). Marcus interviews 13 American and British authors, including Lloyd Alexander, Franny Billingsley, Garth Nix, Nancy Farmer, Philip Pullman, and others. I discovered some interesting subtexts and life experiences they seem have in common, and that affected their becoming writers in the fantasy genre. Marcus also includes lists of THEIR favorite fantasy books, and wonderful photos of the writers in their youth.
