This article explores children’s fantasy literature in English and Uzbek traditions, examining its origins, cultural role, linguistic characteristics, and pedagogical significance. It considers the development of English fantasy through the Grimms, Lewis Carroll, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and J.K. Rowling, alongside the Uzbek tradition of oral folklore, epic narratives such as Alpomish, and modern literary contributions by Xudoyberdi To‘xtaboyev. Through comparative analysis, the article highlights both universal motifs and culturally specific elements of fantasy, emphasizing the importance of translation, educational use, and intercultural appreciation.
