Summary/Abstract: The paper reviews readers‘ reception of fantasy literature, demonstrates the reasons of its popularity, and outlines the origins of this literary mode. Fantasy defamiliarization – the main feature of the meta-genre – provides with a fresh worldview and opens the way of individuation for a story character as well as for a reader. Fantasy literature enriches imagination, sharpens critical thinking, expands mental horizons of young readers, and develops their emotional maturity.
