简介
"Most people think of fairy tales as having been created anonymously and almost magically long ago, and later discovered and recorded by scholars such as the Brothers Grimm. In fact original fairy tales are still being written. Over the last century and a half many well-known authors have used the characters and settings and themes of traditional tales such as 鈥機inderella鈥? 鈥橦ansel and Gretel鈥? and 鈥橞eauty and the Beast鈥?to produce new and characteristic works of wonder and enchantment. The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales brings together forty of the best of these stories by British and American writers from John Ruskin and Nathaniel Hawthorne to I. B. Singer and Angela Carter." "These tales are full of princes and princesses, witches and dragons and talking animals, magic objects, evil spells, and unexpected endings. Some of their authors, like John Ruskin and Oscar Wilde, use the form to point a social or spiritual moral; others such as Jeanne Desy and Richard Kennedy, turn the traditional stories inside out to extraordinary effect. James Thurber, Bernard Malamud, and Donald Barthelme, among many others, bring the characters and plots of the traditional fairy tale into the contemporary world to make satiric comments on modern life." "The literary skill, wit, and sophistication of these stories appeal to an adult audience, even though some of them were originally written for children. They include light-hearted comic fairy stories like Charles Dickens鈥檚 鈥橳he Magic Fishbone鈥?and L. F. Baum鈥檚 鈥橳he Queen of Quok鈥? thoughtful and often moving tales like Lord Dunsany鈥檚 鈥橳he Kith of the Elf Folk鈥?and Philip K. Dick鈥檚 鈥橳he King of the Elves鈥? and profoundly disturbing ones like Lucy Lane Clifford鈥檚 鈥橳he New Mother鈥? and Ursula Le Guin鈥檚 鈥橳he Wife鈥檚 Story鈥? Together they prove that the fairy tale is not only one of the most popular and enduring forms, but a significant and continually developing part of literature."--BOOK JACKET.
