The Brontes and the Fairy Tale - Jessica Campbell

The Brontës and the Fairy Tale is the first comprehensive study devoted to the role of fairy tales and folklore in the work of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell Brontë. It intervenes in debates on genre, literary realism, the history of the fairy tale, and the position of women in the Victorian period. Building on recent scholarship emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the fairy tale and other genres in the nineteenth century, the book resituates the Brontës’ engagement with fairy tales in the context of twenty-first-century assumptions that the stories primarily evoke childhood and happy endings. Jessica Campbell argues instead that fairy tales and folklore function across the Brontës’ works as plot and character models, commentaries on gender, and signifiers of national identity.Scholars have long characterized the fairy tale as a form with tremendous power to influence cultures and individuals. The late twentieth century saw important critical work revealing the sinister aspects of that power, particularly its negative effects on female readers. But such an approach can inadvertently reduce the history of the fairy tale to a linear development from the “traditional” tale (pure, straight, patriarchal, and didactic) to the “postmodern” tale (playful, sophisticated, feminist, and radical).

Modern Fairy Tale - Steve Higgs

Verity King has a problem with her husband. He’s been turned into a frog, and contrary to opinion, that’s not an improvement. A cryptic message, a severed finger in her fridge, and no signs of forced entry make it clear to Tempest why he was called, but Mr King’s worrying transformation is just the first act. Almost before he can add up the clues, a second victim confirms the theme and Tempest finds himself up against someone performing modern retellings of the Grimm Brothers’ Fairy Tales … with real live human characters. Tempest also has a new partner and it’s not his old army buddy, Darius Kane, in the country to learn the ropes before he opens his own franchise. No, it’s the last person on Earth he wants to work with. He needs to solve the case, possibly just so his life can go back to normal, but he’s going to get extra motivation whether he wants it or not when the Storyteller choses members of Tempest’s own family to become part of the grand finale. Don’t believe in fairy tales? That won’t help you this time.

The Happy Prince And Other Tales - Oscar Wilde

The five original fairy tales included in this volume were first published by Davis Nutt in 1888. Although it is said that Wilde wrote them for his two young sons, the author himself claimed they were ''. . . . not for children, but for childlike people from eighteen to eighty''. Since then the stories have been constantly reprinted and, despite the author''s disclaimer, children have made the tales their own, a particular favourite being ''The Selfish Giant'' - the highly moral story of the giant who banished children from his garden, so that spring never came. Charles Robinson, who produced the illustrations for a special edition first published in 1913, brought to the book a feeliong for its innate sadness that exactly fits the poetry of Wilde''s text.

Apothecary for the Afflicted - Dr. Melissa Kim Corter

Apothecary for the Afflicted is a unique and transformative tool disguised as a book. The pages are filled with rich and potent shadow-work practices to uncover the authentic self while healing invisible wounds. Throughout the book, the reader encounters hauntingly beautiful imagery blended with the symbolism of fairy tales. The shadow speaks symbolically because it is beneath our conscious awareness. Therefore, we all have psychological blind spots. The Apothecary for the Afflicted is designed to creatively reveal these blind spots through shadow work practices rooted in the Jungian tradition. In this book, Melissa teaches you about the shadow, how to work with it, and the importance of facing inner darkness. As you work with the materials, you will discover supportive shadow-work practice to soften resistance when difficult emotions, feelings, and sensations rise to the surface. Shadow work involves the transmutation of stuck energy and transformation of repressed feelings. We must confront the things we ignore. There is power hidden in the places we are afraid to look. Within the shadow, the energy remains in limbo, and like a ghost, it eventually begins to haunt us . . . until we face it. To transmute darkness, we must turn our attention ...

Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion - Zipes Jack

The fairy tale is arguably one of the most important cultural and social influences on children''s lives. But until the first publication of Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children''s lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows in this classic work, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. How and why did certain authors try to influence children or social images of children? How were fairy tales shaped by the changes in European society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Zipes examines famous writers of fairy tales such as Charles Perrault, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and L.Frank Baum and considers the extraordinary impact of Walt Disney on the genre as a fairy tale filmmaker.

Zavede nás samozřejmě zase do domovského Ušína, třeba do jeho tajemného podzemí, vynese nás do oblak v balónu, přenese do alchymistovy dílny v pohádkové minulosti, ale také až do předpeklí, kam se odvážné myšky vydají zachraňovat zesnulého rytíře Medarda. Tam i všude jinde budou Anča s Pepíkem pátrat, zkoumat, objevovat, řešit, zachraňovat, vynalézat a odhalovat a vy můžete být u toho! Obsahuje také doslov "Nejen myškami živa je autorka" od Tomáše Prokůpka a Pavla Kořínka. Vydání druhé, v tomto provedení první.

The Development of Czech Childcare Policies - Hana Hašková, Jiří Mudrák, Steven Saxonberg

The area that comprises today's Czech Republic has a long and rich history of providing childcare facilities to preschool children. Kindergartens continue to be popular to this day and at present almost all Czech children attend these facilities. On the other hand, nurseries nearly vanished in the Czech Republic. The question remains why a country that used to belong to the world leaders in providing access to childcare has so suddenly become one of the greatest laggards concerning care for children under three. This question has led the authors to more questions. The authors show the historical-institutional roots of the development of contemporary Czech childcare discourses and policies and uncover the historical decisions that set the Czech Republic down its gendered familialist path. In their search, they emphasize the interaction between institutions and discourses of childcare. They are inspired by discursive institutionalism which focuses on the ways in which discourses influence institutions. This book, however, emphasizes that institutions also influence discourses: It shows how Czech institutions and political decisions of the past have led to the present unsatisfactory situation of the Czech early childcare.

Six Fairy Tales from The Brothers Grimm - David Hockney

David Hockney''s interpretation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales are like no other version you will have read before. Although inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, from Arthur Rackham to Edmund Dulac, Hockney''s extraordinary etchings re-imagine these strange and supernatural stories for a modern audience, capturing their distinctive atmosphere in a style that is recognisably the artist''s own. Reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1969, Hockney''s book brings together some well-known tales - Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin - with others that are less familiar. Informed by great art of the past, attuned to idiosyncrasies of character and incident, and fresh in execution and content, his illustrations invite us to read each one as if for the first time.

The Complete Fairy Tales - Charles Perrault

''Oh grandmama, what great big teeth you have!''Charles Perrault''s versions gave classic status to the humble fairy tale, and it is in his telling that the stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the rest have been passed down from the seventeenth century to the present day. Perrault''s tales were enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in the nursery, and it is their wit, humour, and lively detail that capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up. In addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the three verse tales - the troubling account of patient Griselda, the comic Three Silly Wishes, and the notorious Donkey-Skin. This new translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of Perrault''s world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.
