Ross examines Gary Crew's Strange Objects using the model for examining fantasy fiction devised by Tzvetan Todorov. Having identified weaknesses in Todorov's model, Ross creates a model which accommodates engagement with fantasy fiction via a dual axis approach. One axis relates to a work's setting and plausibility and the other focuses on the state of mind of the characters and events.
