Book Description
Our story was one filled with heartache. But overpowered by love. It wasn't a traditional happy ever after. But it was one I wanted to be part of. . . I felt feelings for her that I didn't know existed the first second I saw her. She was born to be mine. She was everything. . . the bright stars that lit up my darkness. The angel that would save me from hell. She wanted a fairy tale but I wasn't born to be Prince charming. All I could offer was a horror story. I just had no idea how horrible a story it would be. . . They dimmed the bright lights in her soul, but I had walked the darkness for years. I knew where to find her. I knew I'd revive her. And I knew I could end her pain when I ended the lives of those who caused it. I would happily play the villain in this story, as long as I wasn't hers.

THE SPRING-TIDE OF LOVE - An Unusual Fairy Tale
Author: Anon E. Mouse
Publisher: Abela Publishing Ltd
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 354 In this 354th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "THE SPRING-TIDE OF LOVE”. A long time ago and far away, back when the mists of the early twilight were falling, Elsa, a little girl who lived at the woodman's cottage, was still far from home. She had wandered out in the spring sunshine in search of the bluebells and wild anemones with which the wood abounded, for the child loved the company of the birds and flowers better than the rough play of the boys who were called her brothers. The woodman and his wife said she was strange and dreamy, full of curious fancies which they found it hard to understand; but, then, they were not Elsa's real parents, which might account for their difficulty. They were kind to her, however, in their fashion, and Elsa always tried to remember to obey them; but sometimes she forgot. She had forgotten to-day—for although the good wife had told her to remain near the cottage, the eagerness of her search for the flowers she loved had led her farther into the wood than she had ever been before. The sunlight disappeared, and the darkness seemed to come quite suddenly under the thick branches of the trees; the birds had chanted their last evening song and gone to their nests—only a solitary thrush sang loudly just overhead; Elsa thought it was warning her to hurry homewards. She turned quickly, taking as she thought the direction of the cottage; but as she was barely seven years old, and felt a little frightened, it is not surprising that she only plunged deeper into the wood. Now she found herself in the midst of a great silence; the beautiful tracery of young green leaves through which she had hitherto caught glimpses of the sky had disappeared, and over her head stretched only bare brown branches, between which she saw the shining stars, clear as on a frosty winter's night. The stars looked friendly, and she was glad to see them, but it was growing dreadfully cold. The plucked flowers withered and fell from her poor little numbed hands, and she shivered in her thin cotton frock. What happened to lost little Elsa? Did the forest protect her or were there mean beasts lurking waiting for her to fall asleep? Well many things happened, some strange and some serious. To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story and find out for yourselves!

Beyond the Glass Slipper

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Some fairy tales everyone knows-these aren't those tales. These are tales of kings who get deposed and pigs who get married. These are ten tales, much neglected. Editor of Enchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine, Kate Wolford, introduces and annotates each tale in a manner that won't leave novices of fairy tale studies lost in the woods to grandmother's house, yet with a depth of research and a delight in posing intriguing puzzles that will cause folklorists and savvy readers to find this collection a delicious new delicacy.Beyond the Glass Slipper is about more than just reading fairy tales-it's about connecting to them. It's about thinking of the fairy tale as a precursor to Saturday Night Live as much as it is to any princess-movie franchise: the tales within these pages abound with outrageous spectacle and absurdist vignettes, ripe with humor that pokes fun at ourselves and our society.Never stuffy or pedantic, Kate Wolford proves she's the college professor you always wish you had: smart, nurturing, and plugged into pop culture. Wolford invites us into a discussion of how these tales fit into our modern cinematic lives and connect the larger body of fairy tales, then asks-no, insists-that we create our own theories and connections. A thinking man's first step into an ocean of little known folklore.
