In my last post I talked
about the fascination the Irish have with their old folk tales and legends. But
the Irish aren’t the only ones captivated by stories like these. The rest of
the world also seems to be particularly interested in this kind of genre at the
moment. Is it possible that we still crave for stories about other worlds? And could
this also be a reason for the hype with franchises like Lord of the Rings, Harry
Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games? In recent years, there
has been a boom in fantasy and science fiction. As a fan I’ve been following
the development of books made into movies and unfortunately also into franchises.
