Séria Deltora - Krajina netvorov a kúzel si získala obľubu u detí na celom svete a patrí k najznámejším dielam Emily Roddovej. Je to súbor ôsmich kníh, na ktoré voľne nadväzujú ďaľšie pokračovania. Putovanie troch priateľov pripomína Tolkienovho Pána prsteňov. Aj oni bojujú proti hrozivému nepriateľovi, cestujú v neustálom strachu z prezradenia a ich plán sa zdá byť podobne absurdný ako úloha Tolkienovho hobita Froda zničiť prsteň. Atmosférou rozprávanie je Deltora v mnohom podobná príhodám, ktoré prežívajú deti v knihách C.S. Lewisa, a zároveň predstavuje novodobú paralelu k starým ságam a príbehom o kráľovi Artušovi a Okrúhlom stole.
