Next research stage

I've just watched an episode of Torchwood - which is a Dr Who spin off. and in this episode the story was about faries that choose a human child to become on of there own... or to go and live with them and be their oracle or something along those lines.
Whenever the Human child was threatened the faries would exact revenge on anyone that would do the child harm. they also killed anyone who found out that they existed or saw them.

In my opinion Faires are the biggest fantasy element that exists, examples can be taken from stories such as Peter Pan. And the belief in Faries is something that alot of children have.
I like the twist that was added in this episode and i think i will look into the mythology of faries and see if i can find out more about their history and where they came from.

i also think that i will want to add the idea of evil faries into my piece... we'll see.

I am also wanting to read two more chapters of James Walters 'Fantasy film, a critical introduction' these are:
  • fantasy, childhood and entertainment
  • fantasy, imagination and interiority
I think these chapters will lead to some good information, hopefully about faries and even some insight into the power of the human imagination.
