Hi, i'm trying to answer the following question and am so stuck!! ive come to a dead end. If anyone has any ideas, opinions or know any good websites i would be grateful - any ideas welcome!! I'm using Harry potter and the philosophers stone and the lives of christopher chant to answer the question.


“One of the strengths of domestic fantasy is its ability to transform the everyday world. At its best it does this not by foisting onto that world a supernatural apparatus essentially alien to it, but by revealing what is already strange and wondrous in the apparently familiar.”

Question Author
the one thats written above... the second half of the post.

I may be misinterpreting the Q, but I would think of Terry Pratchett where social and cultural observation of our own world (both past and present) is presented in a fantasy-world.


eg in the first couple of books, concepts like tourism and insurance are discovered by a populace whose first reaction is how to take advantage

OK, Discworld isn't kids fiction exactly, but I suspect his childrens' books are similar.
how about Alice in Wonderland ?
