Book Description
Elizabeth's sixteenth birthday was fast approaching and for the daughter of the King and Queen of Elnara, kingdom of the fairies and elves, that meant that she would have to attempt the magical transformation that would change her from Lady Elizabeth into Princess Elizabeth, the Fairy Princess of Elnara and the most powerful fairy alive. As if that isn't enough, Elizabeth discovers she is expected to select her future husband, the future king of Elnara, from amongst the eligible young lords attending her birthday celebration. During the celebration, she meets Lord Edric, from remote Castle North, who has more on his mind then just meeting the enchanting Fairy Princess. Put off at first by his casual, unorthodox personality, Elizabeth finds herself drawn to the charming, handsome Lord Edric. The pair is soon plunged into a mystery that will take them over the great mountains to the north and beyond, braving deadly dragons and more. Nevertheless, they must find the answers they seek no matter what the risk, or the Fairy race will be doomed to extinction....

The Fairy Tale World
Author: Andrew Teverson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351609947
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 905
Book Description
The Fairy Tale World is a definitive volume on this ever-evolving field. The book draws on recent critical attention, contesting romantic ideas about timeless tales of good and evil, and arguing that fairy tales are culturally astute narratives that reflect the historical and material circumstances of the societies in which they are produced. The Fairy Tale World takes a uniquely global perspective and broadens the international, cultural, and critical scope of fairy-tale studies. Throughout the five parts, the volume challenges the previously Eurocentric focus of fairy-tale studies, with contributors looking at: • the contrast between traditional, canonical fairy tales and more modern reinterpretations; • responses to the fairy tale around the world, including works from every continent; • applications of the fairy tale in diverse media, from oral tradition to the commercialized films of Hollywood and Bollywood; • debates concerning the global and local ownership of fairy tales, and the impact the digital age and an exponentially globalized world have on traditional narratives; • the fairy tale as told through art, dance, theatre, fan fiction, and film. This volume brings together a selection of the most respected voices in the field, offering ground-breaking analysis of the fairy tale in relation to ethnicity, colonialism, feminism, disability, sexuality, the environment, and class. An indispensable resource for students and scholars alike, The Fairy Tale World seeks to discover how such a traditional area of literature has remained so enduringly relevant in the modern world.

ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"The fairies" of Newfoundland oral tradition are variously envisioned, encountered and interpreted, and this study presents some of these concepts and experiences. Dr. Rieti describes the specific contexts in which fairy experiences are recounted and the manner in which they are told, keeping the narrators at center stage. She also seeks their meaning in cultural themes such as the human relationship with nature, and relationships between people. Comparative material sets the subject in historical and international perspective and demonstrates the remarkable tenacity of these very old yet modern tales. Strange Terrain--winner of the 1992-93 Raymond Klibansky Prize, awarded by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Fairy Spell
Author: Marc Tyler Nobleman
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0544699548
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
The true story of British cousins who fooled the world for more than 60 years with a remarkable hoax, photographs of “real” fairies. Exquisitely illustrated with art by Eliza Wheeler as well as the original photos taken by the girls. In 1917, in Cottingley, England, a girl named Elsie took a picture of her younger cousin, Frances. Also in the photo was a group of fairies, fairies that the girls insisted were real. Through a remarkable set of circumstances, that photograph and the ones that followed came to be widely believed as evidence of real fairies. It was not until 1983 that the girls, then late in life, confessed that the Cottingley Fairies were a hoax. Their take is an extraordinary slice of history, from a time when anything in a photograph was assumed to be fact and it was possible to trick an eager public into believing something magical. Exquisitely illustrated with art and the original fairy photographs.
