Here There Be Dragons

“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.
