...Edith Nesbit's "Psammead" series not only engaged me with narrative but also suggested to me, particularly in the second and third books, that "another world is possible".
I am sure that such a suggestion formed part of Nesbit's authorial intention, given that she was a committed socialist and founding member of the Fabian Society.
Fantasy in literature is sometimes criticized as "escapist". Whenever such a label is applied to disparage this or other genres, I respond by conceding that escapism might well be a motive for readers or audiences; I then ask what are they trying to escape from and where are they trying to escape to.
The politics of escapism are by no means straightforwardly quietistic or socially soporific.
