The Lure of the Other Fantasy stories are usually asking ‘What If … ?’ Creative questions such as: … animals could talk? … children could fly? … toys come alive? … you could travel across the galaxy? … you could become invisible? … magic was a human skill? … dragons (trolls, elves, orcs, psammeads) were? … and then what?

Types of Other Wish fulfilment – “lonely child” Time change – time slip/swap, past/future Heroic – prove self, go beyond limits Animal - anthropomorphic Parallel worlds Utopia (perfect world), Dystopia, Apocalyptic Toys and dolls Size change Beyond normal abilities – magic, psychic, super Science fiction Historical worlds Traditional myth and legend

Lewis: The books of Narnia ( ) JRR Tolkien: The Hobbit (1937), The Lord of the Rings ( )
