Download or read book Once Upon a Time written by Marina Warner and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater power to enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale? Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and Hans Andersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.

Aurora isn't alone--a charming prince is eager to join her quest, and old friends offer their help. But as Maleficent's agents follow her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are and, moreover, who she truly is. Time is running out. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?

Download or read book Once Upon the Disenchanted Ever After written by Mina Anne Poe and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once Upon the Disenchanted Ever After: The Truth about Fairy Tales by Mina Anna Poe This is Mina Anne Poe’s take on the classic fairy tales we grew up with when we were young. These somber and hauntingly enchanted tales are for a new generation of readers. These tales show a more bittersweet side of the “happily ever after” we all dreamed about when we were young, naïve and believed in love at first sight. These stories dispel that myth with every twist the characters must endure to find their perfect ending. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are people who are loyal – and ones who will betray. In every tale, there has to be a balance of good and evil. These tales are not as graphic or as disturbing as the ones written by the Brothers Grimm. Poe felt that terrifying the reader was the wrong way to entice them. Although these tales are dark, they are suitable for most readers. These stories have magic and enchantment. Poe has more tales to tell – just waiting patiently for one day!
