 I've been thinking, what is the worst thing that I could possibly do with my favourite classical fantasy novels, and then the answer came to me. I could debase them by simplifying them in a single sentence. Here are five classical fantasy novels in a sentence. The Hobbit A band of burglars sneak up into someone's home with the intent of stealing, recalling in an unsettling way the plot to Home Alone featuring Benedict Cumberbunch, question mark? A Wizard of Earthsea Charmed with confidence issues, summons, scary shadow self, goes to the ends of the earth to discover the shadow was inside him all along. Elric of Melnybonnie and other stories Why is this pale elf so tortured and why am I a little attracted to him? Is it because he reminds me of an English goth chick all brooding like? Because I've always struggled with all, you know, and also the big torture his soul is a pretty cool I wouldn't lie, and they might also be a metaphor about oblivion and the dangers of ultimate power. Yeah, that was a sentence. Alice in Wonderland Nothing I could come up with would be half as wonderfully nonsensical and whimsical as any sentence chosen at random. So here's a direct quote. The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo. What does it mean? And last, but not least, Lord of the Rings. The cousin of a skilled burglar with blood in his hands must face responsibility for the sins of the past in this unexpectedly dark sequel to either Hobbit or Home Alone. Well then, that sure was a ding. I'm sure I won't get any angry fan mail about it, because I don't have any fans. As the beauty of this channel. It has been going on for ages and yet no one knows about it. Well, that's true of the pain. Anyway, I will see you next time. If you enjoyed this video, please like, share and subscribe. We're doing six classical sci-fi novels next Friday, so that's going to be enjoyable in case you wonder why I will be wearing the same tie in that next video. It's because I'm shooting several videos at once. Bye.
