Fantasy Fiction: Pure-escapist Literature

by Russell Quirk

Fantasy fiction is an interesting genre to comprehend. I would personally say that it is really 'pure-escapist literature'; something that ultimately helps us to rediscover the world with open eyes, open arms, and of course an open mind.

Consider this: in an age where we have technology at our fingertips and a world-of-knowledge on tap, we often lack a sense of discovery, wonder and imagination. Yet fantasy literature reaffirms this and enlightens us to the possibility that, quite frankly, anything is possible; that magic does exist.

As an obvious keen enthusiast of fantasy fiction, I would have to say that my favourite novels of all time are The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks, Lord of The Rings by J.R.R Tolkein (of course) and, most recently, A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. A Game of Thrones is nothing short of pure genius if you ask me. Each of Martin's large cast of characters is so rich and believable that you simply cannot help but be hooked from the very first page!

Moving on from TV, there has also been a sudden surge of fantasy films over the last ten years. Without question, my favourites have to be Lord of The Rings (again), Harry Potter (of course) and, most recently, The Hunger Games (pure brilliance). I must also mention the recent revival of the fairy-tale stories, with films such as Snow White and The Huntsman and Red Riding Hood. These remakes are much darker than the Disney versions I grew up with that's for sure!

When it comes to fantasy fiction and the supernatural, I guess what it really teaches us is to always believe in ourselves and continue to hope that good things will happen to good people, an encouraging theory in a world of economic crises and turmoil.

Private Member's Club, Home House of Portman Square, are also keen enthusiasts of this type of literature and are soon to put on an event called 'Once Upon a Time'. From Beatrix Potter to Roald Dahl, Hans Christian Anderson to CS Lewis and JK Rowling... enter the magical pages of every story, fable, old wives' tale and fictional tale you have ever read... Dress to impress and choose your favourite character from any story ever written... Its set to be a truly fantastical party!



Home House is an exclusive social club for people from all walks of life, which is part of its charm. Quite unlike many other <a href="https://homehouse.co.uk/private-hire">members only clubs in London</a>, Home House is a place to relax or the perfect spot for a working day.
