The diploma thesis deals with modern English fantasy tales for children and their role with respect to ethical context and moral mission. The first part is a general introduction to child heroes´ experience, their notion of Good and Evil and their attitude to given rules, conventions and circumstances. The practical part deals with particular interpretations of the issue, the theme of the so called other world and the concept of authority not only as a moral example but also as a tool of power and manipulation. The thesis is based on the analysis of particular stories by British authors (C.S. Lewis, P. Pullman, and J.K. Rowling), in which different points of view are shown. The summary brings final conclusions about what the stories have in common.
