Here's an interesting article from The Guardian about the necessity to accommodate the presence of the elves and other supernatural creatures while obtaining building permits in Iceland. Around 80% of Icelanders believe in--or refuse to deny the existence of--elves and fairies (basically, all the stuff Lord Dunsany and Tolkein write about). Might be a nice counterpoint to the dismissal of fantasy literature as not grounded in "reality."
