On the point about moving into the world the author has created --
One of the books we were required to read in 9th grade was The Sword in the Stone. I remember that most of my class was having trouble with the idea of Arthur turning into a fish and all. My best friend and I realized we had a real advantage from being familiar with fantasy writing. (It was reflected in our grades, too.)
