I always thought that Winnie The Pooh, Wind In The Willows, tales of Narnia etc were brilliance in simplicity. Lord Of The Rings is another level of complexity, if a similar simple tale overall.

I don't think brilliance can be measured by complexity.

Just like you can't compare a great Pizza with a great Chinese banquet. Each can be equally rewarding and satisfying, depending how you feel and what you really want at the time.

Many things are subjective.
