The Vermont Extended Universe interests me particularly, and comparing it to Binscombe (https://binscombetales.com ), Scarfolk and Hookland should highlight the differences between British and American fantasy styles. Oh, and thanks for the warning about The Mosquito Coast TV show -- I had been thinking of putting that on our viewing list, but it'll be better just to read the book.
Yeah, the TV show completely changes the characters and the genre. It's not about building a utopia in the jungle, Fitzcarraldo-style. It's a tedious chase thriller where the heroes are on the run from the FBI, get mixed up with drugs cartels, and very slowly reveals a backstory that doesn't make a lot of sense, then ends abruptly because it got canceled.
