hello all , how are you ?
well , i'm really confused here ..

i'm confused about meanings like : fantasy worlds , alternate worlds , parallel worlds , world buildings and high fantasy definitions..

* fantasy worlds : aren't they the worlds tolkien made in his works ? aren't they the worlds that we try to write them down in many novels ? aren't they meaning a complete different world than ours ?

*parallel worlds : aren't they the worlds ( like magic worlds ) different than ours presented with our world at the same planet .. like rowling's harry potter , or the worlds that lie in different earthes like philip pullman dark materials ?

*alternate worlds : i came by once with this name but frankly not knowing it's meaning !

*world building : isn't it the extensive work done in the novel to make many details of the world inside it and we write down only few details of it ..
or is it any set of world that the story occurs at and it's not like our world ?
tha latter one means that any fantasy novel has world building , like allis in the wonder land for example , right ?

*high fantasy : isn't it a type of fantasy tolkien sat its basis and is determined by the presence of world buildings or not .. or what ?

note : sorry that i bother you from time to time with questions i know you can answer it so easily , frankly speaking i tried hard to find the books you titled and some other friends titled me and others amazon did about the art of fantasy and its basis and really i can't fine any in egypt , i was shocked but i can't find any other source than you .. sorry !
