Sometimes long-winded and difficult to understand when the examples used are unfamiliar, but an absolutely essential essay for understanding Tolkien, Lord of the Rings, and other good "fairy-stories." The ending (Recovery, Escape, Consolation and Epilogue sections) is pure gold and one of my favorite bits of writing ever.
