Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violet Jacob (1863-1946) is most well known as a North East writer of historical fiction and of lyric poetry in Scots and English but she also wrote for children. This collection of short fairy tale fictions, The Golden Heart and Other Fairy Stories, is reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1904, and makes visible an important part of Jacob's writing life. These eight tales, populated by witches, fairies, and princesses as well as talking animals and magical objects, echo aspects of both folk tradition and the classical European fairy tale canon. Jacob's protagonists seek love and happiness, enduring trials and misfortunes in order to reach a fairy tale ending; their narratives are often imbued with irony and humour, or laced with tender melancholy in the way of a Hans Christian Andersen tale. In its fantastical portraits of desire and longing, Jacob's collection is not altogether 'child-like'.Its charm and power is enriched by the original drawings by the artist May Sandheim; in their interlinking of an Art Nouveau aesthetic and fairy tale subject matter, they evokes the contemporary context of the 'Scotto-Continental Art Nouveau' movement and its female artists - such as Margaret MacDonald and Jessie M. King - who drew inspiration from fairy tales in their symbolist artworks. Published in the same year of the first performance of J.M. Barrie's famous 'fairy play', Peter Pan, The Golden Heart deserves to be restored to the tradition of Scottish fantasy and fairy tale writing. Sarah Dunnigan is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Edinburgh University. She has written about medieval and Renaissance Scottish literature, ballads, Burns, contemporary women writers, and fairy tales. She edited Nancy Brysson Morrison's Mary Queen of Scots for Kennedy & Boyd.
Download or read book Golden Heart written by Suzanne Taylor and published by MBS Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golden Heart invites you into a zany fairytale adventure. The story begins when a nasty witch moves into an ancient forest. All is well until the Witch finds a happy Kingdom nestled cosily at its edge. She decides the Kingdom's happiness is not something she can stomach so she starts her tricks. The Witch is forced to expand her plans when she finds the Queen has a Golden Heart, something unexpected but with a little care it could double her powers. Golden heart is written very much like one of the old familiar fairy tales yet it presents a story that is a little different. It is about understanding the spaces in love and it encourages recognition of the real self. It is also about adults enjoying the shared reading experience as much as the child. The illustrations are deliberately presented to attract the eye and give enough stimulation to fire the imagination. They encourage the reader to step back and take another look.
Download or read book The Escapement written by Lavie Tidhar and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dazzling new novel evoking Westerns, surrealism, epic fantasy, and circus extravaganzas, World Fantasy Award winner Lavie Tidhar (Central Station) has created an evocative dreamscape of dark comedy, heartbreak, hope, and adventure. Chronicling a lone man's quest in parallel worlds, The Escapement recalls the epic darkness of Stephen King's The Gunslinger via the unpredictable whimsy of The Phantom Tollbooth. "Lavie Tidhar is a genius at conjuring realities that are just two steps to the left of our own." --NPR Books Into the reality called the Escapement rides the Stranger, a lone gunman on a quest to rescue his son. But it is too easy to get lost on a shifting landscape full of dangerous versions of favorite things: lawless cowboys, giants made of stone, oppressed clowns, and even more sinister forces at play. The Stranger always finds new enemies in every godforsaken town. He reluctantly defends the not-always-helpless, while avoiding the deadly symbol storms of petulant gods. As the Stranger has learned, the Escapement is a dreamscape of deep mysteries, unpredictable geography, unlikely allies, and unwinnable battles. But the flower the Stranger seeks still lies beyond the Mountains of Darkness. Time is running out, as he journeys deeper and deeper into the secret heart of an unknown world.
