Chronicles of Narnia by Tolkien:
"CHAPTER 1 On the northern borders of Lantern Waste, a chilling wind crept over the ground. Rumors of dark forces on the move had been floating among the faunic settlements since midsummer's day..."
Lucy isn't introduced until CHAPTER 24 and in CHAPTER 35, the song that Mr Tumnus entertained Lucy with is reproduced in its entirety, haunting and masterful in the form of ancient Norse epic poetry. Several lengthy excerpts from Tumnus' library books are included in a footnote to the same chapter.
LOTR by CS Lewis:
"In a hole in the ground lived a hobbit named Smeagol, and almost he deserved it..."
Mulan (1998) dir. Barry Cook, Tony Bancroft
but reality crept in, you said we're too different

idk how to explain to people outside latin america that during the cold war while everyone was praising the west for it's freedom and progress compared to the horrors of the communist dictators in the east, thousands of latines where being murdered, tortured and silenced by capitalist dictatorships that were directly supported by the us and are the main reason why latin america is a "poor" region nowdays as they completely destroyed our economies. like, i know i've already talked about this before here but it's so infuriating how everyone uses the "communism killed thousands of people/communism is a dictatorship" every fucking time while forgetting how almost every latin american country went through a capitalist dictatorship. like, it's honestly amazing how those years of history are erased and ignored on porpuse by everyone because of first world capitalist propaganda that loves to paint capitalism as the only system that can secure freedom. that's the reason many people condemn latin america of being "ruined by socialism", because it is true many latin american countries remember the horrors of those dictatorships and are more socialist today thanks to it. but we weren't ruined by socialism, it was capitalism (and colonialism) what made this to us and now everyone pretends it's because we're socialists.
