Fairy stories, especially from the rich tradition of Ireland where the
supernatural grew from the legends of the Celts, are the magic stories
of everyday folk seeking solutions to the challenges of the day. This
spritely new collection brings together the fables and stories of
banshees, kings, trembling farmers, tricksters and beloved princesses.
'Smallhead and the King's Sons' (a Cinderella story) and 'The Haughty
Princess' (recalling Grimm's 'Kings Thrushbeard') are amongst the many
delightful tales of hope and reckless determination.
Fairy tales bring the myths of ancient times into the Victorian and
Modern eras, where superstition and the supernatural still exist. Rooted
in the past, such fairy stories bring morals and lessons for the young,
and wise words for the old. They are a reminder of the power of the
natural world and offer suggestions for our inner fears of the dark and
the shadows. These tales provide a link between the myths and legends of
the Celts, and the modern tales of dark monsters, of vampires and
bewitchment, of the dark voices hidden in the earth, and the stars.
FLAME TREE 451: From myth to mystery, the supernatural to horror,
fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of
werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly villains,
mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and escapist
fantasies. Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the
reader of the fantastic.
