9．To hissatisfaction（satisfy），his son made rapid progress in English．

8．J．K．Rowling，author of the hugely popular Harry Potter Series，hag written her own special magic in tile fantasy genre（体裁）．Though she may be the best-known fantasy writer to the current generation，she is hardly the first．A number of others，many of whom，like Rowling，are British，were writing fantasy novels before J．K．Rowling was born．
One such writer is George MacDonald，a Scottish author，best known for his novels Phantastes and Lilith．MacDonald's work，like Rowling's，showed that fantasy literature could hold appeal for older children and even adults．In Phantastes，a young man named Anodos journeys through a fantasy land where he experiences magical adventures．While Phantastes is a relatively light story，Lilith，a much later work by MacDonald，is a darker and more serious tale．In this novel，a character called Mr．Vane travels through a fantasy land．There he meets Lilith，an attractive but troubling fairy princess； in describing Mr．Vane's experiences，MaCDonald explores the question of what it means to be human．
Another British fantasy writer，C．S．Lewis，acknowledged that he was grateful to George MacDonald．It was MacDonald's mythmaking，rather than his writing style，that Lewis admired．Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia，a tale of mythical power，is a group of seven books tied together more by the fictional world they created than by the description of a particular character's experiences．
Narnia is a magical place where animals can talk and time progresses at its own rate．Like Harry Potter and his mates at Hogwarts，the characters who live in Narnia struggle with the conflicting forces of good and evil．
Yet another fantasy series，occupying fewer printed pages but treating its material in the way the Harry Potter series does，is J．R．Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings．The series describes a group of seven characters who journey together in order to destroy a ring which would give an evil lord power if he gets it．As Lewis does with Narnia，Tolkien invents a universe，which he calls Middle Earth，and peoples，from humans to terrifying creatures called"ores"and"uruk-hai．"
