Discuss the ways in which “The Wind in the Willows” and “Peter and Wendy” demonstrate that fantasy literature can be useful for children in ways other than simple entertainment. (Try to find a means of connecting these texts through your thesis and argument, to avoid having two mini-essays).

Ensure that all quotations are pertinent, adequately introduced and well integrated. Base your analysis on your own reading of the novels in question; the essay should be the product of each individual’s own application and reading. Any significant ideas or secondary material obtained elsewhere should be acknowledged as such to avoid the possibility of academic fraud. Be sure that your essay has a central argument (your thesis) that drives it.
