Hope

I have been thinking lately about several things that I like to read.

The Chronicles of Narnia
The Silmarillion
Three Comic Strips: Mutts, Frazz, and Heart of the City
Dante's Paradisio
The Napoleon of Notting Hill

Any time I'm feeling down, I almost instinctively turn to one of these sources for reassurance.

It raises the question, why can these works of fiction provide hope more than any other writing that I have come across?
