Hey there,

first you have to select all rows from the books table. Then you have to specify the genre you're looking for in the where clause, which is "Fantasy" in this case. After that you want to order the books in an ascending order by when they were first published. Finally you use the limit keyword to limit the results to 5 books.

Like so:

SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre = "Fantasy" ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5;

I hope that helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask! :)

Thank U
