Terry PratchettFantasy is escapism, but wait... Why is this wrong? What are you escaping from, and where are you escaping to? Is the story opening windows or slamming doors? The British author G.K.

Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different ways - is one of the skills that make us human.
