You won't regret it, I promise. Everytime someone starts yammering about fantasy as an escapist genre blahblahblah I feel an irresistible urge to hit them with a Complete Works of Pterry.*

*which doesn't exist. but if it did, it would hurt. quite possibly kill. **

**except for my father, who gets explanations and arguments. everyone else gets the (imaginary) Complete Works.***

***Pterry taught me the Art of Footnotes.
