“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
— G. K. Chesterton
Fairy tales, westerns, private eye stories and superheroes all draw from the same well — the lone hero who must face down some formidable, even overwhelming menace to protect the community. Such stories will be around just as long as we are.
