Fantasy is a literary genre characterised by a supernatural appearance in every day’s life, with a strong mythical dimension and frequent recourse to magic.
Unlike Fantastic, the Fantasy’s supernatural isn’t necessarily badly lived by the protagonists, but accepted and being integral part of the world where the characters develop.
