A young man meets a tiny fairy, who shows him a dream-like fairyland. The adventures of Anodos are deeply symbolic – both a dream and a way to a genuine reality. Fairies, wicked giants, a knight, beautiful woman, a library, where a reader falls into the worlds of its books – all these pass in front of readers’ eyes, leading them to a final conclusion: we all eventually will come to Good, though a few dare to believe in it.
“Phantastes, a Faerie Romance for Men and Women” was the first work of fic
