Description
The book "Fire and Hemlock" by Diana Wynne Jones, a creator of fantasy and imaginative novels, is well-known among fans of fantasy literature in Iran, particularly for her famous work "Howl's Moving Castle." "Fire and Hemlock" is a modern fantasy published in 1984. In this story, the dragons and monsters that a ten-year-old girl named Polly creates in her imagination profoundly influence her real life into adulthood. She constantly struggles between the events happening in "here" and "nowhere," to the point where the boundary between waking and dreaming becomes blurred. From a young age, she tries to behave like an adult, ultimately confronting her embodied fantasies in adulthood, which, as she puts it, "cannot happen in this day and age."
