Re: What fictional world is your escapist fantasy?

(Anonymous) 2015-05-17 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's straight up part of the fantasy, I think. Well, for the most part. Relatively little manual labor and lots of rest and abundance for the peasant hobbits, and an idyllic existence for the middle class ones.

But, I mean, it's literally merrie olde England. You hardly even need to point out those features of it; it comes politicized. But from an escapist fantasy point of view, the point is not whether or not merrie England or squirearchy England or deep England were as just or fair as they were made out; the point of the Shire is that it actually is as pleasant and idyllic as those places were made out to be.
