PriyankaFantasy Fiction
As it happens I did get to go for Narnia today. Though I am still bummed because the movie pretty much sucked in my opinion. They have changed the script a lot, and have commercialized it in a big way even adding a romantic angle to it!
I just don't like seeing stories commercialized! Even the bits which were changed in Lord of the Rings irked though it wasn't much really seeing what's happened with Eragon, Narnia and some others.
If I get started on Eragon the Movie it's just unending!!
Chia: Why reminisce that which thou dost not like, reminisce instead the things thou liketh!
If we look at how this fantasy fiction genre of literature developed the root mainly lies in the myths and legends that every culture has.
Chia: Not all these myths and legends were a fantasy!!
Thats true however fantasy fiction could easily have been derived from it!
Modern fantasy literature is said to have been started by George MacDonald in the 1850's.
Some of his works include:
At the Back of the North Wind,
The Princess and the Goblin
Phantastes
I am currently reading this Phantastes - A Faeries Romance.
Chia: It's pretty good so far!
