Gretel only wanted to find her brother who'd been traded to the Queen of Hearts. Okay, and maybe find the prince who haunts her dreams. But first she's got to outsmart a giant, outmaneuver some horny dwarves and survive the sinister plans of a big bad wolf. She isn't the only one surfing in uncharted territory as both Prince Albert and her brother Hansel run into their own issues. Namely escaping a BDSM loving Queen and some Jinn's with evil on their minds. Toss in a wise-cracking green donkey with an attitude and an not so old lady living in a shoe and its wonder anyone can get anywhere, much less find their true loves. Even when it seems everything comes full circle, Cinderella finds her Beast... truly transformed into one! Will anything get settled in Fairyville or will the wily wicked continue to cause chaos and prevent any happily ever afters?

Download or read book Hansel and Gretel written by D. F. Curran and published by . This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a beautifully descriptive retelling of the original Hansel and Gretel story set in modern day Montana. Told by Gretel herself it weaves into the fairytale wonderful new oddities and characters. For Example: "This bottle contains an imp." The Witch's long, now, greenish colored, index finger extended upward toward a dusty, gold-tinted bottle on the high shelf. An unpleasantness grew about the Witch like a gray cloud. The Witch's eyes met mine. The Witch's eyes were wide and to my surprise the Witch looked a little frightened. "Under no circumstances are you to open it." The Witch turned back toward the bottle and looked at it as if in awe. "Even I can't control that imp." She turned abruptly back to me. "Don't touch it, rub it, or even dust it off. There are things more terrible than Witches in this world." She watched for a moment as if to judge my reaction. The cloud of unpleasantness seemed to vanish, "Come along." Still, even with the new additions, the original story still unfolds along the traditional lines. This time with a sophistication that can be enjoyed by both adults as well as children. And in this version, even the evil stepmother is forgiven.
Download or read book Wonder Tales in the Fiction of A S Byatt written by Alexandra Cheira and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides sustained critical attention on Byatt’s wonder tales, both the stand-alone tales and those which are embedded in the wider frame of a novel or novella. In this light, it examines Byatt’s claim that her wonder tales “are modern literary stories and they do play quite consciously with a postmodern creation and recreation of old forms” through a revisitation of the wonder tale in a productive dialogue with tradition as an expanded recognition of this fertile creative-critical dialogue with regards to the significance of the wonder tale in Byatt’s fictional work. The book evinces a fresh variety of conceptions and approaches to Byatt’s wonder tales, some spanning several tales and others focussing on a specific wonder tale, all thoroughly observant of the nature and workings of the relationship between story or novel and genre or tale, and theoretically informed by innovative critical approaches.
Download or read book Persona and Performance written by Robert J. Landy and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that drama is not only a metaphor for everyday life, but also provides a means of self-examination and life enhancement. Asserting that emotional well-being depends upon an individual's capacity to manage a complex and often contradictory set of roles, the author shows how role offers a uniquely effective method for working through significant personal problems when used as an element of drama therapy. The volume combines theoretical discussions with extensive clinical illustrations, and covers issues including learning to live with role ambivalence, complexity, and contradiction.
