Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Light Princess: And Other Fairy Tales Fancy his journeyman that puts the pieces of them together, or perhaps at most works their button-holes. Obeying law, the maker works like his creator; not obeying law, he is such a fool as heaps a pile of stones and calls it a church. In the moral world it is different: there a man may clothe in new forms, and for this employ his imagina tion freely, but he must invent nothing. He may not, for any purpose, turn its laws upside down. He must not meddle with the relations of live souls. The laws of the spirit of man must hold, alike in this world and in any world he may invent. It were no offence to suppose a world in which everything repelled instead of attracted the things around it; it would be wicked to write'a tale representing a man it called good as always doing bad things, or a man it called bad as always doing good things: the notion itself is absolutely lawless. In physical things a man may invent; in moral things he must obey - and take their laws with him into his invented world as well.

Book excerpt: The Light Princess is a short story that is warm and humorous, with a surprisingly poignant conclusion. A princess doomed by a witch to lose her "gravity" results in a silly heroine that has neither physical nor spiritual weight. George MacDonald's masterful teaching on the subject of sacrificial love is delivered eloquently in the events and characters of this engaging story. The book is filled with puns and witticisms. A great story for your children if they like fairy tales!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fairy tale, Cinderlad and the Princess on the Glass Hill: A Fairy Tale Retold by Princess Jenny, the King makes a royal decree and promises the hand of his daughter in marriage and half of his Kingdom to the man who could ride up the slippery hill of glass and take the golden apple from his daughter who sat atop the hill. Cinderlad was ridiculed by his father and two brothers for wanting to attempt the feat and they reminded him that his place was beside the cinders. Cinderlad did not allow the ridicule of others to lower his self-esteem nor deter him from his goal. He did not have a horse of his own nor knightly grabs. How could he enter the contest and win the Princess' hand in marriage and half of the Kingdom? Cinderlad was rewarded with an unusual gift by a fairy for his kindness. Cinderlad and the Princess on the Glass Hill teaches the lesson of remaining true to one's self even under the ridicule of others and to believe that one can achieve one's goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, so long ago that I have quite forgotten the date, there lived a king and queen who had no children. And the king said to himself, "All the queens of my acquaintance have children, some three, some seven, and some as many as twelve; and my queen has not one. I feel ill-used." So he made up his mind to be cross with his wife about it. But she bore it all like a good patient queen as she was. Then the king grew very cross indeed. But the queen pretended to take it all as a joke, and a very good one too. "Why don't you have any daughters, at least?" said he. "I don't say sons; that might be too much to expect." "I am sure, dear king, I am very sorry," said the queen. "So you ought to be," retorted the king; "you are not going to make a virtue of that, surely." But he was not an ill-tempered king, and in any matter of less moment would have let the queen have her own way with all his heart. This, however, was an affair of state. The queen smiled. "You must have patience with a lady, you know, dear king," said she. She was, indeed, a very nice queen, and heartily sorry that she could not oblige the king immediately.

Book excerpt: Once upon a time, the stories that came to be known as “fairy tales” were cultivated to entertain adults more than children; it was only later that they were tamed and pruned into less thorny versions intended for youngsters. But in truth, they have continued to prick the imaginations of readers at all ages. Over the years, authors have often borrowed bits and pieces from these stories, grafting them into their own writing, creating literature with both new meaning and age-old significance. In the last few decades or so, they’ve also intentionally retold and reinvented the tales in a variety of ways—delightful or dark, wistful or wicked, sweet or satirical—that forge new trails through the forests of fantastic fiction. This new anthology compiles some of the best modern fairy-tale retellings and reinventions from award-winning and bestselling authors, acclaimed storytellers, and exciting new talents, into an enchanting collection. Explore magical new realms by traveling with us, Beyond the Woods . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Princess and the Moon is a classic retelling of "Sleeping Beauty," steeped in legend and magic. The beautiful but spoiled Princess Rosamund (Rosa for short) has squandered the seven faerie gifts given her on her christening day. She must reclaim these gifts in order to face a terrible curse cast long before her birth. Prince Erik grew up hearing stories of a sleeping princess, but all does not end happily when he wakes her. For what happens when a princess of legend awakens in a world that fears all to do with the old kingdom and Faerie? Intertwined in both Rosa's and Erik's lives is the figure of the Golden King and the ancient curse that separated him from his faerie bride. The luminous world evoked by Anna Maria Mendell in this, her first full-length work, is unforgettable, and will delight readers of all ages. "A deeply felt tale of faery, richly mixing elements from the brothers Grimm, George MacDonald, and even (did I sense at times?) The Princess Bride. Read, and enjoy "--MICHAEL WARD, author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis "Anna Maria Mendell's debut novel is a masterly re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty story. At a time when shallow agendas dominate the revival of the fairytale genre, she sets a fresh narrative standard: one drawing equally from modern depth psychology and traditional symbolism. The author conjures a rich, imaginative landscape peopled with believable characters, as she works toward the final eucatastrophe. A 'joyous turn' not easily achieved: and this is perhaps the chief lesson of Mendell's gripping excursion into the realm of faerie."--LEONIE CALDECOTT, co-editor of Second Spring and director of the Centre for Faith & Culture "With passages of striking beauty, this splendid re-telling of the fairy tale 'Sleeping Beauty' touches evocatively on timeless human themes and achieves a poignant depth reminiscent of the work of George MacDonald."--MARK SEBANC, co-author of the "Legacy of the Stone Harp" series Anna Maria Mendell grew up climbing trees in the woods of New England. She studied Literature at the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts and received her Master of Studies in English from Oxford University. While she lived abroad, she traveled far and wide and explored crumbling ruins and castles, secret caverns, and hushed forests--all these places made their way into the scribbles of her notebook."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her atrocious aunt had deprived the child of all her gravity. If you ask me how this was effected, I answer, "In the easiest way in the world. She had only to destroy gravitation." For the princess was a philosopher, and knew all the ins and outs of the laws of gravitation as well as the ins and outs of her boot-lace. And being a witch as well, she could abrogate those laws in a moment; or at least so clog their wheels and rust their bearings, that they would not work at all. But we have more to do with what followed than with how it was done.The first awkwardness that resulted from this unhappy privation was, that the moment the nurse began to float the baby up and down, she flew from her arms towards the ceiling. Happily, the resistance of the air brought her ascending career to a close within a foot of it. There she remained, horizontal as when she left her nurse's arms, kicking and laughing amazingly. The nurse in terror flew to the bell, and begged the footman, who answered it, to bring up the house-steps directly. Trembling in every limb, she climbed upon the steps, and had to stand upon the very top, and reach up, before she could catch the floating tail of the baby's long clothes.When the strange fact came to be known, there was a terrible commotion in the palace. The occasion of its discovery by the king was naturally a repetition of the nurse's experience. Astonished that he felt no weight when the child was laid in his arms, he began to wave her up and-not down, for she slowly ascended to the ceiling as before, and there remained floating in perfect comfort and satisfaction, as was testified by her peals of tiny laughter. The king stood staring up in speechless amazement, and trembled so that his beard shook like grass in the wind. At last, turning to the queen, who was just as horror-struck as himself, he said, gasping, staring, and stammering, -"She can't be ours, queen!"Now the queen was much cleverer than the king, and had begun already to suspect that "this effect defective came by cause
