Download or read book At the Bottom of the Garden written by Diane Purkiss and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Bottom of the Garden is a history of fairies from the ancient world to the present. Steeped in folklore and fantasy, it is a rich and diverse account of the part that fairies and fairy stories have played in culture and society. The pretty pastel world of gauzy-winged things who grant wishes and make dreams come true—as brought to you by Disney's fairies flitting across a woodland glade, or Tinkerbell’s magic wand—is predated by a darker, denser world of gorgons, goblins, and gellos; the ancient antecedents of Shakespeare's mischievous Puck or J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. For, as Diane Purkiss explains in this engrossing history, ancient fairies were born of fear: fear of the dark, of death, and of other great rites of passage, birth and sex. To understand the importance of these early fairies to pre-industrial peoples, we need to recover that sense of dread. This book begins with the earliest manifestations of fairies in ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. The child-killing demons and nymphs of these cultures are the joint ancestors of the medieval fairies of northern Europe, when fairy figures provided a bridge between the secular and the sacred. Fairies abducted babies and virgins, spirited away young men who were seduced by fairy queens and remained suspended in liminal states. Tamed by Shakespeare's view of the spirit world, Victorian fairies fluttered across the theater stage and the pages of children's books to reappear a century later as detergent trade marks and alien abductors. In learning about these often strange and mysterious creatures, we learn something about ourselves—our fears and our desires.

Book excerpt: Bea dreams of having a PRINCESS FAIRY OASIS in her backyard-where ONLY beautiful flowers, butterflies, ladybugs are allowed, and her best friends, Annika, Maya, and Zoe (but NO pesky bugs, ugly frogs, or annoying little boys). The problem is that now her backyard looks nothing like it! Now her garden is full of BUGS, WORMS, AND OTHER YUCKY CREATURES, plus overgrown grasses, disheveled bushes, and ... a GINORMOUS COMPOST PILE in the middle of it all. That is not a place for fairies or princesses, for sure! (Only silly boys and dorks, who are into playing in dirt, maybe.) So Bea makes a wish (and casts a spell with her magic stick) that all bugs should disappear from the face of the earth-or at least her neighborhood (except ladybugs, butterflies, and dragonflies, of course, because those can stay). But when she learns that the consequences of her wish may be more than she bargained for-she changes her mind. Dressed in gardening outfits, that look like nothing a princess (or even a fairy) would wear, Bea and her friends get their hands dirty on a mission to create an OASIS for ALL CREATURES-even ugly bugs, worms, frogs (and boys). They may not look like fairies or princesses, more like GARDEN DORKS, but being a dork may not be such a bad thing after all. *** A fun read for girls and boys ages 5-10, that teaches kids how to invite more nature into their lives, and inspires them to learn more about the wildlife just outside their window. Because even a simple meadow or a flower pot on the balcony or rooftop garden can be buzzing with life. Buy the book now and enjoy this gardening with your kids. Happy reading and exploring!
