On Tolkien's _"Fairy Stories” _ The Imaginative Conservative

Enchantment has been hidden away from the world, but it can still be found with the right mentors ... J.R.R. Tolkien, in “On Fairy Stories,” argues that in a state of enchantment lies a “primal desire” all of us humans seek, a desire often satisfied in myth.

Tolkien was not defending fairies, but Faerie, “the realm or state in which fairies have their being.” He elaborated, “Faerie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons,” it is a story form that contains all aspects of our lives, imaginary or lived, “when we are enchanted,” seeing the world through different eyes, anew.
