Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When our lovely heroine is born so breathtakingly beautiful, her father, the King, is amazed by her astounding beauty, so he names her Fairer-than-a-Fairy. This one act signals an ancient enemy and sets in motion a series of dire events for the little princess, for the Dark Faerie World takes the baby's naming as a challenge. Fairer-than-a-Fairy will face kidnaping and imprisonment, a perilous journey, seemingly impossible tasks, an Ogre, a voyage across the sea, hidden dangers and tests of courage and will. She will also make alliances, find opportunities for true happiness, explore the meaning of friendship and justice, and contemplate the True Love. Fairer-than-a-Fairy is a True Hero Princess from centuries' worth of story, brought to us over time as a girl-become-woman, purposefully choosing her Path.Fairer-than-a-Fairy comes to us most recently through Andrew Lang's series of Fairy Books of Many Colors: twelve books containing 437 stories. “Fairer-than-a-Fairy” appeared in the Yellow Fairy Book published in 1894. Like other 19th century fairy tales, Andrew Lang's version of the story was greatly reduced from the original version, retaining only the most basic elements, leaving behind many of the most powerful pieces of the Heroine's Journey. The Fairy Tale Project at Wonder Tales for Today's Woman has traced the story through the centuries to discover the missing pieces, working through story cuts and mapping the elements of the story geographically to its origins in the Wonder Tales of Ancient Greece more than 800 years ago. The result is this marvelous Fairy Tale, relevant still, as the universal nature of a story about life and growing up, that lasts over time and space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I will give you a finer dress than either of your sisters has ever seen.” More beautiful than her two elder sisters, Trembling is not allowed to go out of the house for fear that she might marry before them. Even after the Prince of Omanya falls in love with the eldest, she fears their wrath if she should attend church. However, with the magical assistance of an unassuming henwife, Trembling is able to wear such finery and arrive in such style that not even her sisters recognise her. As word of the mysterious beautiful lady spreads throughout the world, princes and great men come to see her and gain her hand. When one suitor gains the means to identify her by way of a lost shoe, the search is on, but who will succeed in discovering her true identity and what will it mean for Trembling and her sisters? More than a Cinderella story, this Irish fairytale continues beyond the shoe test, beyond the wedding vows. To discover whether Trembling prevails against all that lies in store for her, look no further than this latest adaption. [Folklore Type: ATU-510A (The Persecuted Heroine)]

The Editor never saw any himself, but he knew several people who have seen them-in the Highlands-and heard their music. If ever you are in Nether Lochaber, go to the Fairy Hill, and you may hear the music your- self, as grown-up people have done, but you must go on a fine day. In the meantime, here's a poem for all the young people out there..... Books Yellow, Red, and Green and Blue, All true, or just as good as true, And here's a Folklore Book just for YOU! Hard is the path from A to Z, And puzzling to a curly head, Yet leads to Books-Green, Yellow and Red. For every child should understand That letters from the first were planned To guide us into Fairy Land So labour at your Alphabet, For by that learning shall you get To lands where Fairies may be met. And going where this pathway goes, You too, at last, may find, who knows? The Garden of the Singing Rose.
