" The Real World of Fairytales " tells of an encounter with a Ghost, whose name is Fabel. Fabel turns out to be the good Ghost of fairytales, who has long been trying to find someone who would correct his tales, for the wisdom, hidden in the allegories and metaphors, to be revealed so all this knowledge will not be lost. Written in first person, the Author grants the Ghost his wish and takes all the secrets to pen, during which time she falls in love with the Ghost, while fully aware she'll never be able to touch him. She begins to question her sanity, believes Fabel is nothing but a hallucination, because of her inability to make sense of the mysterious happenings, which ultimately leads to a confrontation with the Ghost.

Isabelle Adriani, PhD in History and Fairy Tales, artist and journalist, will take you through space and time, back to the origins of enchanted fairy tales which are powerful metaphors for how to live a just life. Their origins are rooted in our shared history. From America, to China, to Europe, to The Middle East, these anthology attempt to uncover the origins of our world's most famous fairy tales. They break down cultural, societal and religious barriers and offer hope in facing our ongoing human struggle. Psychologists agree that fairy tales teach children (and grown-ups) how to navigate more effectively through our experiences. They preach discipline, patience, loyalty, determination, courageous action, and most importantly, how to attain our goals. They also demonstrate how unlucky outsiders, those who are ridiculed by society can, if they so choose, rise from the ashes to change the narrative of their lives. Hundreds of such stories, dating all the way back to ancient mythology and the origins of mankind, can be found in innumerable cultures all around the world. Our journey will lead us to discover the truths hidden behind the most beloved fairy tales of all times: The enchanting story of Cinderella, the talking mirror of Snow White, the mystery of Beauty and the Beast, the flying carpet of Aladdin, the magical powers of fairies, the legendary Sleeping Beauty, the untold secret of the mermaids, the unbreakable swords of ancient Chinese warriors, the glass slipper in Cinderella, and Rapunzel's golden braid. We all thought these were invented stories, but they are not. All of these people and things had a place in ancient history where they originated - in the real world. In this anthology about the historical origins of Fairy Tales we will look at princesses but not only. Many of these stories can be traced back to the collection of fairy tales first collected by the Brothers Grimm. Join Isabelle Adriani, a modern Sister Grimm as she will take you on the journey of a lifetime.

The Real World, Book Two of “The Story of Us” Series What happens after the love-bubble phase of a relationship? What happens when you get to know the real person behind the flowers, dates, and out-of-this-world sex? Does the romance fizzle out? Does the love get stronger? These are some of the questions that are on Sabine’s mind—the mystery of the fairy tale between the happily-ever-after ending. Dating is one thing, but starting a life with someone is an entirely different thing. From the day that Kelvin and Sabine met, she knew that she loved him. It’s that space in between the two extremes; “getting to know you” and “is this the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with” that’s got Sabine so confused. It seemed as if she had found everything that she was looking for in a mate with Kelvin, but why does it feel like something’s missing? Will Sabine’s fears of the unknown sabotage her relationship? Will the habits of Kelvin’s past tear the relationship apart? The Real World explores these scenarios in the Entangled Universe as things relate not only to Sabine Stallworth and Kelvin Frey’s world but also with her sister, Samantha, and her husband, Malik Marcs, and in relation to Sabine’s good friend, William Witford and his ex-lover, Sara Mansfield.

*Includes pictures*Explains how the genre was formed and theories regarding real life origins of popular fairy tales*Includes online resources and a bibliography for further readingDense forests, evil stepmother, beautiful girl, dwarfs in mines, a prince and, eventually, poisoning (in that order). Sound familiar? Most will recognize the basic plot of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, one of the most popular fairy tales in history. Even if the passing of time (and Disney) embellished it with a thousand details, in particular the happy ending, this and other tales reflect the Sitz im Leben or setting in life in which fairy tales emerged. The stories, which were transmitted orally during the Middle Ages, are like fogged windows to the way of life, the kind of people and social conditions of the regions where they took their final shape. In some instances, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, they may be echoing historical facts. And the poisoned apple? Sander thinks that the lethal fruit was added later, during the stage of oral transmission, in remembrance of a man who really existed in Germany and was arrested for giving poisoned apples to children because he thought they were stealing from him.For centuries, beautifully illustrated fairy tale volumes have rested innocently on kids� night tables around the world, long ago relegated to the dubious honor of being branded as "children's literature." But every story is a file packed with information, and Cinderella, Snow White, Puss in Boots and Bluebeard have always intimated that perhaps they have more to tell besides "beautiful" stories, the same ones that animated the minds of several generations of children. Whether or not they had peaceful dreams is another matter, because even in their current versions, sterilized and with their original contents doctored, classic fairy tales are far from innocent stories for five year old children. It was only later, with the arrival of illustrators and then cinema, that they began to become the virtually exclusive domain of underage readers.Like in the secret room where Bluebeard kept his dead wives� bodies, or the enchanted forest one should not venture into, fairy tales conceal not only historical events and the depiction of the hard lives of people in the Middle Ages, but according to psychoanalysts, they are also a mirror of truth where people's desires, fears, illicit appetites and flaws are encoded. Snow White's stepmother had a good reason to be so upset when the mirror finally told her who she really was. This classic moment in literature is an excellent metaphor of what fairy tales are as a genre. Until recently they were still relegated to the book shelves of the youngsters; lately they have been studied seriously by scholars of the most prestigious universities in the world, successfully exploited by the entertainment industry, and even banned in some schools.Fairy Tales: The Origins, History, and Interpretations of the World's Most Famous Fairy Tales is an invitation to peek into the history of fairy tales and see humanity reflected in them. The image they throw back may not always be the most satisfactory, but for better or worse, it�ll be the one societies have to face. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the history of fairy tales like never before.

'His cornucopia of tellers and tales is a delight, a riveting celebration of a genre that revels in its own hybridity and the imaginative riches produced by the crossing of cultural and literary borders' Financial Times 'Like a child after the Pied Piper I pursued Jubber into a world both human and full of magic. A carnival of a book, rigorously researched and jostling with life' Amy Jeffs, author of Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain 'Magical tales about magical tales and tellers. Jubber, congenially and fascinatingly, explores the land from which the great fairy stories seeped, making the stories more resonant, powerful and important than ever' Charles Foster, author of Being a Human and Being a Beast The surprising origins and people behind the world's most influential magical tales: the people who told and re-shaped them, the landscapes that forged them, and the cultures that formed them and were in turn formed by them. Who were the Fairy Tellers? In this far-ranging quest, award-winning author Nicholas Jubber unearths the lives of the dreamers who made our most beloved fairy tales: inventors, thieves, rebels and forgotten geniuses who gave us classic tales such as 'Cinderella', 'Hansel and Gretel', 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Baba Yaga'. From the Middle Ages to the birth of modern children's literature, they include a German apothecary's daughter, a Syrian youth running away from a career in the souk and a Russian dissident embroiled in a plot to kill the tsar. Following these and other unlikely protagonists, we travel from the steaming cities of Italy and the Levant, under the dark branches of the Black Forest, deep into the tundra of Siberia and across the snowy fells of Lapland. In the process, we discover a fresh perspective on some of our most frequently told stories. Filled with adventure, tragedy and real-world magic, this bewitching book uncovers the stranger lives behind the strangest of tales.
