The roots of fantasy are found in some of the earliest tales of human civilization. These stories involve folktales, fables, talking animals, heroic quests, magic and the battle between good and evil. However, this list refers to titles that deliberately employ other elements in their stories that are impossible according to human laws as we understand them.
