Many of literature's greatest works, from ancient myths to the works of Nobel laureates, rely on fantasy. Even when there has been a dominant preference for realism, generation after generation of readers have been drawn to stories of the fantastic not only for what they help us learn about ourselves as individuals and about our collective selves but also for what they show about our social values. What can fairy tales and science fiction stories reveal about the psyches of individuals and nations? How does the literature of the fantastic reflect historical periods and preoccupations?

You smile as your adorable little puppy returns to you with its favorite ball in his mouth. Your four-legged friend drops the ball at your feet and then looks up at your with those big puppy eyes. How can you resist? You pick up the ball and launch it high in the air. Just before the ball begins to arc back down toward the ground, your puppy spreads its wings and soars up to catch the ball in its mouth. Gracefully, your companion sails back to you, gliding through the air with wings outstretched and blue fur rustling in the wind. What a good dog.
