I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'form introduction to fantasy?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'continue a poem modified' is the wordplay.
'modified' indicates an anagram.
'continue'+'a'+'poem'='continueapoem'
'continueapoem' with letters rearranged gives 'ONCE UPON A TIME'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for once upon a time that I've seen before include "Tale opener?" , "Fairytale beginning" , "Start of a fairytale" , "Traditional start of a story" , "How to start of a children's story?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
