A Study of the Role of Creatures in Plays and Films for Children

This book explores the role of real and fantastic creatures in plays and films for Children to throw light on the different psychological, environmental, and moral/social themes and messages they reveal. The creatures in the selected works discussed in this book have diverse roles and they greatly influence the children protagonists. The study thus highlights these significant roles by discussing and analysing the different kinds of creatures, their cultural representations and their influence on the children.
