Today's children and young people have at their disposal an immense variety of fantasy books and movies, which allow them to enjoy everything related to dragons, elves, monsters, wizards, warriors and other characters. There is no shortage of good writers in this genre, such as Tolkien or Lewis. However, it is not gold everything that shines. A Catholic writer of the stature of Michael O'Brien offers us a series of principles to prevent fantasy from becoming a catechesis of worldly and agnostic mentality for our children. The well-known author of Father Elijah: An Apocalypse reviews several fantasy books, pointing out the successes but also the hidden dangers that can lead inexperienced readers astray. One of the most subtle issues is the use of Christian symbols and their distortion in some modern authors. In children's and youth fantasy literature, a real battle is being waged for the minds of our children and, as parents, we cannot remain neutral. Foreword by Diego Blanco Albarova
