Fantasy :( 1) make-believe, a daydream, a reverie. (2)A story following this make-believe pattern---James Barrie's Peter Pan, Tolkien's Load of the Rings, E.T. from outer space.
From Northrop Frye, Sheridan Baker, and George Perkins, The Harper Handbook to Literature, (New York: Harper and Row, 1985)
Fantasy as a distinct literary genre, however, may best be thought of as a fiction that elicits wonder through elements of the supernatural or impossible. It consciously breaks free from mundane reality.
Richard Mathews, Fantasy: The Liberation of Imagination (New York and London: Routledge, 2002)
