Book Description
On a hot summer’s day, three young siblings struggle to find something fun to do. They’re sick of playing dolls, so when their brother suggests they have an adventure in the woods, his two sisters agree happily. The Fairy Hunt! is about Mina, Buddy, and Eve packing snacks and taking a walk deeper than ever before into the woods behind their home in search of fairies. What they discover is a world of magic and wonder, where they learn about the connections between nature, their new special friends, and themselves. An adventure indeed! The author hopes readers come away with a natural sense of wonder, and take notice of the magic that can be found all around them if they only pause a moment to see it. About the Author Melanie Gerndt is a wife and mother of three. The children in the story are based on her own three children, and it’s a story she wrote for them on a summer day while the family was camping. Gerndt has always loved fairies and has often told her children stories about the fairies that live in a little glen in the woods. They have bumblebee races and drink dewdrop tea with honey cakes. The magic of childhood, in Gerndt’s opinion, should always have fairies. She has quite a few hobbies. When she finds a few moments in between work and being a mom, Gerndt loves to cook, read, crochet, paint, draw, and write. She loves the outdoors and the magic of nature. She loves animals and so do all her children. The Gerndt family has more than its share of pets—cats, dogs, and fish so far.

The Liminality of Fairies
Author: Piotr Spyra
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100009281X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Examining the fairies of medieval romance as liminal beings, this book draws on anthropological and philosophical studies of liminality to combine folkloristic insights into the nature of fairies with close readings of selected romance texts. Tracing different meanings and manifestations of liminality in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Orfeo, Sir Launfal, Thomas of Erceldoune and Robert Henryson’s Orpheus and Eurydice, the volume offers a comprehensive theory of liminality rooted in structuralist anthropology and poststructuralist theory. Arguing that romance fairies both embody and represent the liminal, The Liminality of Fairies posits and answers fundamental theoretical questions about the limits of representation and the relationship between romance hermeneutics and criticism. The interdisciplinary nature of the argument will appeal not just to medievalists and literary critics but also to anthropologists, folklorists as well as scholars working within the fields of cultural history and contemporary literary theory.

The Fairy Pastoral
Author: William Percy
Publisher: Anaphora Literary Press
ISBN: 1681145642
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
A pastoral satire about homicidal women- and men-haters being forced into marriage. A standard “Shakespearean” comedy takes a group of youths who are attracted to those who are not interested in them, and regroups them by the conclusion into neat pairings of three or four marriages. In contrast, Fairy Pastoral appears to have been censored because the men in the pairings are wooing their intended partners from the beginning, while the women are homicidally opposed to marriage and prove to the men how much they hate them during the plot, only for them all to be forced into four marriages that all of them are miserable in by the resolution. The setting is the Forest of Elvida inhabited by a kingdom of fairies. Events open with a power-transfer from Princess Hypsiphyle to Prince Orion over accusations of mismanagement. Then, the Princess attempts to regain power across the competitive hunt the Court undertakes. Political and romantic tensions are repeatedly interrupted with slap-stick comedy of Schoolmaster Sir David trying to teach literature while his rear-end is showing, he is falling asleep, and in rare instances when he manages to relate a coherent lecture, the students fail to comprehend his meaning. This is a satire not only on the miseries that accompany forced-marriage, but also about the failures of pedagogic institutions, and irrational transfers of political power through subterfuge and sexism. “Ably presented by Professor Anna Faktorovich, Fairy Pastoral… will have a very special appeal to students and academicians with an interest in Elizabethan era pastoral plays and satiric dramas… Highly recommended for academic library literary fiction and drama collections… [and] for the personal reading lists of students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject”. —Midwest Book Review, James Cox, July 2022 “The Fairy Pastoral and ‘Songs’ is an inherently fascinating study that will have special and particular appeal for readers with an interest in Shakespeare, Elizabethan Drama, and the Shakespeare/Percy controversy. Highly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library Literary Criticism collections.” —Midwest Book Review, Susan Bethany, August 2022 Plot and Staging Text Terms, References, Questions, Exercises “Songs” from MS 509 (1636)
