Home run

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

--G.K. Chesterton

Very true. Having read almost all the known Fairy Tales I must say that the 'victory of good over evil' philosophy in these books was very reassuring as a child!

Not that they can always be beaten. But reassuring nonetheless.
