While it is often acknowledged that Margaret Atwood's novels are rife with allusions from the oral tradition of myth, legends, fables, and fairy tales, the implications of her liberal usage bear study. The essays in this volume have been written by some of the most influential Margaret Atwood scholars internationally, each exploring Atwood’s use of primal, indeed archetypal, narratives to illuminate her fiction and poetry. These essays interact with all types of such narratives, from fairy tales and legends, to Greek, Roman, Biblical, and pagan mythologies, to contemporary processes of myth and tale creation. And, as the works in this collection demonstrate, Atwood’s use of myths and fairy tales allows for an abundance of old, yet fresh material for contemporary readers. By reconciling, yet by also revisioning, the archetypal motifs, characters, and narratives, Atwood’s writings present a familiar, yet unique, reading experience.

The children stories in this book are 100 years old being published in 1906 and are now in the public domain.They were written by ENYS TREGARTHENEdited by: Rogil @ www.vintagebookshop.co.ukSuitable for children from 4 to 10 years old. There are 11 stories in the book, they are:The Legend of the Padstow DoombarThe Little Cake BirdThe Impounded CrowsThe Piskeys' RevengeThe Old Sky WomanThe Little Horses and Horsemen of PadstowHow Jan Brewer was Piskey LadenThe Small People's FairThe Piskeys who did Aunt Betsy's WorkThe Piskeys who Carried their BedsThe Fairy WhirlwindThese stories will amaze and delight our young readers.I have left the stories in their original version, they are as topical today as they were then, but I have edited a lot of the old style words to make them look and sound modern. I have added some new illustration to make it a much more pleasant experience to the readerThe tales contained in this little volume of North Cornwall fairy stories, by Enys Tregarthen, are either founded on folklore or they are folklore pure and simple.The Tregeagle legends are still believed in, the Small People or Fairy Folk with whom Enys Tregarthen's little book has mostly to do.Piskeys danced in their rings on many a cliff and common and moor and on other wild moors, commons and cliffs in many another parish in North and East Cornwall. Numberless stories of the little Ancient People used to be told, which the cottagers often repeated to each other on winter evenings as they sat around the peat fires, and some of these Enys Tregarthen has retold. The author writes concerning them: 'Many of the legends were told me by very old people long since dead. I only know it was one of the stories of my childhood, the Piskey tales, handed down from a dim past by our Cornish forebears.'The legends about the Little People are very old, and some assert today that the tales about the Piskeys are tales of a Pigmy race who inhabited Cornwall in the Neolithic Period, and that they are answerable for most of the legends of our Cornish fairies. If this be so, the older stories are legends of the little Stone Men.'The legends are numerous. Some of them are very fragmentary; but they are none the less interesting, for they not only give an insight into the world of the little Ancient People, but they also show how strongly the Cornish peasantry once believed in them, as perhaps they still do. For, strange as it may seem in these matter of fact days, there are people still living who not only hold that there are Piskeys, but say they have actually seen them! One old woman in particular told me not many months ago that she had seen "little bits of men in red jackets" on the moors where she once lived. She used to be told about the Piskeys when she was a child, and the old people of her day used to tell how "the little bits of men" crept in through the keyhole of moorland cottages when the children were asleep to order their dreams.'These stories are given to the world in the hope that many besides children, for whom they are specially written, will find them interesting, and all lovers of folklore will be grateful to know that the iron horse and other modern inventions have not yet succeeded in driving away the Small People, nor in banishing the weird legends from our loved 'land of haunting charm.'

This book is compiled of 26 old, rare and forgotten Fairy Tales and stories taken from books in Abela Publishing's series "Folk-Lore, Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends from Around the World." A series created to raise funds for charities, special causes and schools. Keeping true to our vision, the intent behind this compendium is to raise funds for UK's Children in Need Appeal ad infinitum. At least 33% of the net from the sale of every book will be donated to this worthy charity. In buying this book you will be giving in more than one way. Once to the Children in Need appeal and again, to yourself, as you read and enjoy stories not read for many a year. But should you perchance happen to read these stories to your children, nieces and nephews or grand-children, you will be giving yet again. The words 'Fairy Tales' must accordingly be taken to include tales in which something 'fairy', something extraordinary occurs -- fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals. One cannot imagine a child saying, 'Tell me a folk-tale', or 'Another nursery tale, please, grandma'. It must also be taken to cover tales in which something magical happens. Mostly it is the comical stupidity of some of the actors, as is so common in moral tales. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or an uncle or aunt would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their mothers, fathers and grandparents."

English Fairy Tales written by Joseph Jacobs and has been published by Myths, Legend and Folk Tales f this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Fiction categories.
This volume contains forty-three English folk stories and tales. But why call them FAIRY STORIES? One cannot imagine a child saying, 'Tell me a folk-tale', or 'Another nursery tale, please, grandma'. Fairy tales are stories in which occurs something 'fairy', something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals, or the remarkable stupidity of some of the characters. Many of the tales in this volume are what folklorists call Drolls (a humorous story in which there is a jester or a wag) . They justify the title of "Merrie England," a phrase which once indicated the underlying capacity for fun and humour of the English. The story of Tom Tit Tot, for example, is unequalled among all other folk-tales for its combined humorousness and dramatic power. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television and radio, a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or uncle or auntie would delight and captivate the gathering with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents from time immemorial. A proportion of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated towards the education of the underprivileged in England.
