Where in the Dewey decimal system would you find fantasy?

Fantasy fiction is generally found in the 800s of the Dewey Decimal System, specifically under 823.91.

Here's a breakdown:

* 800s: Literature

* 820s: English and Old English literature

* 823: English fiction

* 823.9: English fiction of the 20th century

* 823.91: English fiction of the 21st century

While this is the most common place to find fantasy, keep in mind that:

* Subgenres of fantasy might be located elsewhere: For example, science fantasy might be found in the 808.83876 section for science fiction.

* Children's and young adult fantasy would likely be located in the 028.5 (Library science - Children's literature) or 028.52 (Library science - Young adult literature) sections.

* Specific themes within fantasy might be represented in other sections of the Dewey Decimal System. For example, fantasy featuring a particular historical period or setting might be categorized under that period's literature.

Always remember that library catalogs can vary slightly in their organization, so it's best to use search terms or consult with a librarian if you're having trouble finding specific fantasy books.
