Download or read book The Book of Fairy Poetry Classic Reprint written by Dora Owen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Fairy Poetry is a compilation of poems that took compiler Dora Owen several years to complete. Published in 1920, this anthology is divided into three parts: fairy stories, fairy songs, dances, and talk, and fairy lore. Each is filled with fantastic literary creations from the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, William Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Milton, and William Butler Yeats, as well as traditional pieces. Even Mrs. Owen herself included her own original poem, titled Children, Children, Don't Forget. The compiler arranged the poems and songs chronologically in each division. She also included beautiful black and white illustrations by Warwick Goble, depicting the characters and scenarios described in some of the featured verses. This book may very well be a fairy-themed Mother Goose as it features stories that appeal to the young and old alike. Avid fans of all things fairy and supernatural will delight in this work the most - no poem or ballad is without a reference to mythical beings. Lovers of the written word and of poetry will also appreciate the literary value of the verses in this volume. This is quite expected owing to the fact that some of the works of legends and icons in the literary world are featured in The Book of Fairy Poetry. Parents will also find this apt as bedtime reading for children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Fairies and Fancies: A Series of Poems Sometimes it is a matter of pleasurable curiosity that prompts this inquiry: What suggests to the author's mind the novel scenes and incidents which he delineates, and where does he find the beings with Whom he peoples his little world of fancy? It was at an early hour of the morning when the author was rambling through an open forest, where the oak locked arms with the beech, and the chestnut consorted with the maple. Grasses and creeping vines, mingled with mounds of velvety moss and clumps of graceful ferns, made a pleasing variety in the green home of the woods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rout of the Frost King: And Other Fairy Poems Amid the polar regions stands A palace built of ice and snow, And when the northern light expands And falls upon its domes, they glow Like gems reflecting every hue From rosy-red to palest blue, Till every dome and minaret Appears with countless jewels set. As far as man has power to see, Around the palace lies a plain Of boundless white monotony, O'er which the eye would search in vain For aught but snowpeaks here and there, Uprising in the icy air, And standing out against the sky Like crystals that in splendour vie.

In response to that feeling, and with the desire to awaken in the minds of others that peculiar sentiment of affection which the writer feels for flowers, the "Fairy's Search" was written. To her they have not only been cheerful companions in happy hours and soothing consolers in moments of affliction, but wise and eloquent instructors; and could she but reveal to others the beautiful truths which they have taught to her, this little volume instead of being what it now is, would be an offering worthy the acceptance of all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales, Poetry, and Fairy Tales It was in one of these pits that three men and two women sat beside a fire which was blazing at the further end. A horse and-a large donkey were eating the grass which grew around them. A covered cart and van were standing, and a low tent with the covering nearly black with smoke, was fastened to the ground with long stakes. A. Large long dog lay curled up near the fire, and every now and then he lifted up his head as if in the act of listening. On the fire hung a large round pot; the way this was suspended was by a short chain fastened to two stakes, which were stuck in the ground.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Poems of Fairyland: An Anthology of English Fairy Poetry Oberon himself, it is true, has a Teutonic origin, and is known to the early Germanic folk-lore by the name Of Alberich, Alberon, &c., but the original inspiration of English fairy poetry is derived, as I have said, through the fairy imaginings of the French metrical romancers. By these, the supreme monarch of Elfland, who, despite the supposi tious succession of Huon and his own translation to Para dise, continued to spread wide his golden rule as in pre Provencal days, is represented as a child Of four to five years, indescribable in his beauty, sirenian in voice and manner, clothed in a robe which sparkled with all manner Of precious stones, and aerially conveyed in a superb, swan drawn chariot. His palace, with its golden roof and diamond spires, seems to have followed him in his travels, and thus the Land Of Faerie was substantially and for the time being in that Spot wheresoever which was the tarrying place Of the Grand Master of the Elfin World.
