A great essay on fairy stories and fantasy. It had some excellent points on how a fairy story should be written and why they are not just for children. But sometimes he went into some detailed examples and that is where I was a bit lost as I have not read many stories that he talks about. Overall I liked it and will reread some paragraphs that I liked.
