Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enchanting selection of Madame d’Aulnoy’s seventeenth-century French fairy tales, interpreted by contemporary visual artist Natalie Frank Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville (1650–1705), also known as Madame d’Aulnoy, was a pioneer of the French literary fairy tale. Though d’Aulnoy’s work now rarely appears outside of anthologies, her books were notably popular during her lifetime, and she was in fact the author who coined the term “fairy tales” (contes des fées). Presenting eight of d’Aulnoy’s magical stories, The Island of Happiness juxtaposes poetic English translations with a wealth of original, contemporary drawings by Natalie Frank, one of today’s most outstanding visual artists. In this beautiful volume, classic narratives are interpreted and made anew through Frank’s feminist and surreal images. This feast of words and visuals presents worlds where women exercise their independence and push against rigid social rules. Fidelity and sincerity are valued over jealousy and greed, though not everything ends seamlessly. Selected tales include “Belle-Belle,” where an incompetent king has his kingdom restored to him through an androgynous heroine’s constancy. In “The Green Serpent,” a heroine falls in love with the eponymous snake, is punished by a wicked fairy, and endures trials to prove her worthiness. And in “The White Cat,” a young prince is dazzled by the astonishing powers of a feline. Jack Zipes’s informative introduction offers historical context, and Natalie Frank’s opening essay delves into her aesthetic approaches to d’Aulnoy’s characters. An inspired integration of art and text, The Island of Happiness is filled with seductive stories of transformation and enchantment.

Book excerpt: As the neglected daughter of a widowed king, Princess Fiordelisa manages to keep her life optimistic nonetheless. However, Fiordelisa's life takes a turn for the worse when her father remarries a cunning woman who brings along her own daughter to live at the palace. Her new stepmother and stepsister, Turritella, do all they could to make Fiordelisa's life miserable. One day, King Aderyn comes to visit their kingdom in search of a wife. Fiordelisa and Aderyn begin falling in love, but happiness for them proves difficult to obtain. The two lovers are torn apart when the queen shuts Fiordelisa up in a tower and Turritella's fairy godmother turns Aderyn into a blue bird. When the Blue Bird finds Fiordelisa in her tower, the two are thrilled at their reunion. Unfortunately, their joy is short lived when the queen tricks the Blue Bird into believing Fiordelisa has betrayed him. Heartbroken, Fiordelisa must free herself from the tower and win back Aderyn's love. With deceit and magical obstacles standing in their way, Fiordelisa and Aderyn must rely on the strength of their own hearts to overcome every hardship to keep their love alive.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to showcase how fairy tales can be used as a teaching tool for children between the ages of five to seven in kindergarten and first grade. The aim is to demonstrate how fairy tales can be connected to other subjects and how this connection can be used to give teachers a course in literature. It is the hope of the author that this book may serve as an example of one way to train teachers using a single motif in fairy tales. Additionally, it may introduce some educational theories that are relevant to practical teaching in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a relatively brief period of time (1690-1705), Madame D'Aulnoy created a rich and diviersified collection of fairy tales which rank second in importance only to those of Charles Perrault. Through close readings of the various tales, Professor DeGraff demonstrates how the interplay of structural forms and themes can best be understood within the framework of psychological intepretation. This study is above all a sensitive and innovative approach to an author whose writings have not yet received the critical acclaim they so justly deserve. This work is accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike and will appeal to proponents of women's studies. -- Amazon.com.
