Abstract

There is a large audience for fantasy literature in the United States, as shown by the astronomically successful sales of recent fantasy best-sellers, but, at the same time, many people do not see fantasy literature's real value. In this very practical modern world, if a book does not reflect real life, it is likely to be criticized and disregarded. Fantasy literature can be seen as juvenile or badly-written. Some people simply dislike fantasy and do not see the point of reading it. Some people are just the opposite: they love fantasy and feel like it gives them inspiration and deep meaning.
