“This book has breathed new life into an old topic. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in legal fictions – or indeed legal reasoning.” (Liron Shmilovits, The Cambridge Law Journal, Vol. 76 (3), November, 2017)

“Maksymilian Del Mar and William Twining have produced a superb collection of 19 essays on legal fictions. … the collection holds together very well and the overall result is a rich and sophisticated exploration of the topic. … There is much to be learned from thinking about legal fictions, and this collection goes a long way toward plumbing these insights.” (Brian Tamanaha, Jotwell, juris.jotwell.com, September, 2015)
