To me, fantasy is imagination, in books and in all other areas of thought. It's a coping tool the evolutionary process has provided to us in order to better deal with the human condition, a rail against the imprisonment of reality. It's a space containing approximately the same frustrating need to overcome obstacles and the same lack of reward for personal sacrifice (because the universe really doesn't give a care, imo. ) that day-to-day life constantly throws our way, but with more excitement, possibilities, scariness, and fun. It's the polar opposite of reality that must nevertheless merge with it to be recognized, so we have more control over outcomes because the laws of physics and logic are left behind. That's what fantasy is, and what its attraction is, for me.
I prefer mine to be a 30/70 mix of fantasy-reality, don't know why. That's how I view the Grimm world, it would be interesting to hear about how other fans see this formula.
I read "The Mists of Avalon" three times over the years, after what has been revealed, I disposed of my copy of the book.
