Based on Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Snow is a Swan. Although, for some reason, he can think and talk like a human. With no idea who he is or where he comes from, Snow wonders if he really is a swan at all. One day, while exploring the river valley, Snow meets a water nymph called Marine. Distraught over the loss of her mother's magical pearls, she inlists Snow to help her retrieve them from a dangerous shapeshifter. In exchange for his help, she grants Snow the ability to temporarily become a human boy. But there's a catch. He can only change once a day and only from noon until midnight. Hidden somewhere in the town by the river, the shapeshifter seems to have a far more sinister goal in mind. A goal that has something to do with an old legend about a demonic serpent imprisoned inside of a clocktower. Along the way, Snow is aided by Hero, a ballerina intent on learning witchcraft so that she may dance on water.

The Serpent and the Swan is a history and analysis of animal bride tales from antiquity to the present. The animal bride tale, the author argues, is an enduring expression of humankind's need to remain close to and a part of nature. Boria Sax traces the idea of the animal bride through history by drawing upon legends and literary works from throughout the world. He pays particular attention to Eurasian sources which support his thesis that the animal bride theme originated among the serpent cults of Mesopotamia and southeastern Europe. Through time, the details of the animal bride theme changed as a result of mankind's changing perceptions of the natural world. In general, this study is an account of myths and beliefs that have surrounded animals--and women--during the rise of modern humankind. The Serpent and the Swan identifies and explains images of the animal bride that pervade, enliven, and enrich our culture. The bride becomes Eve taking an apple from the serpent, Medea casting spells, Cinderella riding to the royal ball in a pumpkin coach, and the Little Mermaid rising from the waves. The Author: Boria Sax, who holds a doctorate in German and intellectual history, is the author of The Frog King and The Parliament of Animals, among other books.

The fables of Aesop are full of wisdom garnered from life experiences: depend on yourself more than others, what goes around comes around, and always keep promises. But, learning from stories can sometimes be easier than just being told a lesson. Aesop’s fables show people’s strengths and weaknesses in action. Readers will see important character traits modeled for them in fables such as “The Lark and Her Young Ones” and “The Farmer and the Stork.” Accompanied by lovely illustrations, each fable offers another opportunity for learning lessons that can be used every day.

The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.
