Article Title：Who's afraid of the bad little fowl? (Eoin Colfer's three 'Artemis Fowel' novels)

Abstract：
The question this article addresses is. Is Artemis art? That is, how successful is Eoin Coffier's attempt to combine disparate forms, such as fairy stories, science fiction stories and thrillers in the three ArtemisFowl novels? Basic elements of story, such as narrative stance, characterisation and plot, as well as some particularly contemporary issues relating to political correctness, are examined in the search for an answer to that question.

Keywords: fairies; political correctness; science fiction; Eoin Colfer; Artemis Fowl; Irish Folklore
