Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Fairy Tale Teaches Children an Important Lesson Creative author Audrey Humphreys’ new picture book offers an entertainingly insightful twist to fairy tales Devon, United Kingdom – “Once upon a time...” so begins The Dragon Princess, a full-color and beautifully woven magical tale that children’s book author Audrey Humphreys brings to vivid life. Unlike most fairy tales however, this story does away with the traditional plot and instead renders a new and modern twist that everyone – even parents – will find delightfully insightful and hilariously entertaining. The Dragon Princess begins when a handsome and honorable prince, who lives in the southern part of the kingdom, hears word that the princess in the far northern part of the kingdom is in need of rescuing from a fierce, mean and ugly-looking dragon. On his mighty steed, he travels for days, until he reaches the smoke-filled castle of the princess. Just when he is about to slay the dragon, he finds out, to his surprise, that the princess needs to be rescued not from the dragon but from something else. With dreamlike illustrations by Barbara Sercombe, The Dragon Princess is a valuable, charming and funny picture book that brings parents and children together for a wonderful and easy reading experience.
Download or read book Making Babies written by Sandra Sabatini and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the infant has been a consistent figure in literature (and, for many people, a significant figure in personal life), there’s been little attention focused on infants, or on their place in Canadian fiction, until now. In this book, Sandra Sabatini examines Canadian fiction to trace the ideological charge behind the represented infant. Examining writers from L.M. Montgomery and Frederick Philip Grove to Thomas King and Terry Griggs, Sabatini compares women’s writing about babies with the way infants appear in texts by men over the course of a century. She discovers a range of changing attitudes toward babies. After being seen as a source of financial burden, social shame, or sentimental fantasy, infants have increasingly become a source of value and meaning. The book challenges the perception of babies as passive objects of care and argues for a reading of the infant as a subject in itself. It also reflects upon how the representations of infancy in Canadian literature offer an intriguing portrait of how we imagine ourselves.

The princess is tired of rescuing princes, but agrees to go the aid of a prince who has been captured by a dragon. She finds that the dragon is required by the Department of Dragons Rules and Regulations to present her with three impossible tasks, which she does in her own way, in spite of the dragon's complaints.

Book excerpt: Burning Brightly is the first full-length book treatment of professional storytelling in North America today. For some years there has been a major storytelling revival throughout the continent, with hundreds of local groups and centres springing up, and with storytelling becoming an important part of the professional training for librarians. In the book, Stone explores storytelling through storytellers themselves, while providing enlightening commentary from her own background as a storyteller. Included in her analysis are informative discussions of organized storytelling communities, individual tellers, and tales. Issues such as the modern recontextualization of old tales and the role of women in folktales are linked to individual storytelling accounts. Texts of eight stories that exemplify the approaches of the various storytellers are also included. Burning Brightly will be compelling reading for storytellers—and for everyone who loves storytelling.
