fantasy for children is inseparably linked with the quest. The implication of the latter is
twofold: Firstly, children try to find and establish
the meaning of the world, and secondly
their own position in it. Therefore, the quest has always played an important role; in unstable
times even more than in stable ones. Due to its universality and applicability to all people, the
concept of the quest disposes of a long tradition. Originating from myth and folk tales, it is
primarily found in heroic/ high fantasy, yet also runs through less spectacular forms. As an
indispensable element, the quest stands at the core of the story and carries the plot.
