Fantasy and science-fiction

What is the fantasy fiction genre?

Fantasy fiction is a genre of fiction that involves elements that cannot exist within the real world. This fictional universe includes things like:

magic,
mythology,
other worlds/universes.

Fantasy fiction incorporates lots of elements from folklore into the genre, such as tales of monsters, fairies, and magical powers.

The setting in most fantasy fiction is entirely different from the modern day and fantasy worlds usually do not have the modern technology, clothing, language, or social structures of our world.
