Book excerpt: I wonder which one of us didn't day-dream back in the time when they were little kids. Our childhood is a whole world full of dreams, characters and colors. While growing up we tend to forget this world, and it becomes a thing of the past. But sometimes it comes back out of a clear blue sky and we once again recall with astonishment our childish fantasies which seemed to be so "adult". Well, the same thing happened to the author of the book. One day she happened to stay up late looking through her children's drawings when all of a sudden she saw a dreamlike little prince on her windowsill. It is unbelievable, is it? But there is hardly anyone on earth who is likely to assert that miracles are impossible! So, the author of the book and his old fairytale friend will set off for a journey to the land of children's fantasies where they are sure to find the answers to all the questions. How does the Christmas star appear in the sky? What happens when everything seems to be hopeless? Will a donkey be able to fly if he sets his heart on doing it? What is a little rabbit's life like in the city? Where do leprechauns take their gold? The grown-up author of the book calls to mind the answers to these and many more questions when he meets his forgotten playfellow. The book comprises several independent fairy-tales. The plot of each story is quite substantive, but the characters of the fairy-tales happen to be surprisingly interrelated. These are modern fairy-tales yet having room for magic. After reading the whole book you are bound to become acquainted with the world where characters travel, believe, hope, fall in love and see each other. And fascinating pictures will enable you to view and perceive this world. The book is suitable both for reading to older kids and for independent reading by children themselves. This book reveals a fairy-tale in each day thus encouraging the reader to visualize the adult events through children's eyes. And this means that every day is likely to become a little better and brighter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our battles do not cover us with riches, with glory. We marry no princesses, gain no kingdoms. We wrap no monsters' tongues in silken handkerchiefs embroidered with the monogram of the beloved, take no trophies which, when later our claims are challenged, we can show the king as proof of our worth and thus gain the prize. The dragons we face are in the mind ." We never learn her name, but we do learn her story. Being sent away from her home village to apprentice with the Wiseman of the Wood is the best thing that ever happened to her. Then she learns that her cousin, a foolish dreamer of a boy, has undertaken a quest that could either bring him a princess and a kingdom or lose him his head. Against her will she gets caught up in his dream a dream that will take her to the far reaches of the kingdom in search of the Water of Life. And although she has been told that the stories of the wise are never told, she learns a lesson that makes her story worth repeating. The seven tales of enchantment in this book range from modern versions of old stories to new stories with common fairytale themes. They take place in the present day and in the mythic past, but they all have something in common. Although there are ogres to be fought and princesses to be won, curses to be broken and quests to be fulfilled, the real challenge each of the heroes must face is personal. And beyond fear, beyond doubt, beyond the consequences of unbearable choice comes the poignant realization that life is what you make it, and contentment means more than "happily ever after."

Book excerpt: The Ancients believed that Elementals—fairies, sprites, gnomes, and dragons—lived among us. In time, these beings became the stuff of fantasies and legends. But what if, what if they are still alive and living among us? And can only be seen by the young or the young at heart. Or what if we only hope they are still alive?

Download or read book The Irresistible Fairy Tale written by Jack Zipes and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative new theory about fairy tales from one of the world's leading authorities If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty understanding how it originated, evolved, and spread—or why so many people cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this book, renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes presents a provocative new theory about why fairy tales were created and retold—and why they became such an indelible and infinitely adaptable part of cultures around the world. Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology, psychology, literary theory, and other fields, Zipes presents a nuanced argument about how fairy tales originated in ancient oral cultures, how they evolved through the rise of literary culture and print, and how, in our own time, they continue to change through their adaptation in an ever-growing variety of media. In making his case, Zipes considers a wide range of fascinating examples, including fairy tales told, collected, and written by women in the nineteenth century; Catherine Breillat's film adaptation of Perrault's "Bluebeard"; and contemporary fairy-tale drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that critique canonical print versions. While we may never be able to fully explain fairy tales, The Irresistible Fairy Tale provides a powerful theory of how and why they evolved—and why we still use them to make meaning of our lives.
