Barely conscious of her everyday life, Cecilia gets by doing what any other teenager does, hanging with friends, doing homework, and reading, but strange daydreams push her into wondering if there is more to life. One day, the mysterious school librarian suggests a new book to her that will forever change her life. On her seventeenth birthday, Cecilia travels to an unknown and enchanting place: Korenbadela, the place of her dreams. There she encounters unusual creatures, new friends, and a mysteriously charming young man named Taredon. Sadly, this wonderful place won't last unless Cecilia retrieves the ingredients to create a solution that can help her stay. On the journey, Taredon accompanies Cecilia and they encounter many exciting and even slightly dangerous challenges. However, Korenbadela isn't as wonderful as it seems. Taredon has a secret he desperately wants to keep hidden and something, or someone, is lurking in the darkness watching Cecilia's every move. But then again, nothing can harm you in your dreams . . . can it?
This manual guides librarians in creating simple, affordable, ready-to-use activities for children, 'tweens, teens, and families, with enough material for a full year of programs. Do-it-yourself programming is an emerging model in which the librarian does the preparation, then lets patrons take over. DIY Programming and Book Displays: How to Stretch Your Programming without Stretching Your Budget and Staff makes it easy for librarians to institute such programs in their own facilities. Organized around 12 thematic chapters, the book explains how to set up and maintain a do-it-yourself station and offers instructions for a variety of year activities. Reproducible materials and booklists are included as well. Librarians may use the activities as starting points for generating their own ideas or they may simply photocopy materials in the book for ready-to-use, monthly DIY programming. Once set up, the DYI station is available to patrons anytime they are in the library. Best of all, because DIY programs do not rely on staff, space, or special materials, they allow libraries to make the most of their resources without sacrificing patron service.
Dickens was known for his incredible imagination and fiery social protest. In Social Dreaming , Elaine Ostry examines how these two qualities are linked through Dickens's use of the fairy tale, a genre that infuses his work. To many Victorians, the fairy tale was not childish: it promoted the imagination and fancy in a materialistic, utilitarian world. It was a way of criticizing society so that everyone could understand. Like Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, Dickens used the fairy tale to promote his ideology. In this first book length study of Dickens's use of the fairy tale as a social tool, Elaine Ostry applies exciting new criticism by Jack Zipes and Maria Tatar, among others, that examines the fairy tale in a socio-historical light to Dickens's major works but also his periodicals-the most popular middle-class publications in Victorian times.
The Abandoned Kingdom Lord Akir was tired of fighting senseless wars for a bloodthirsty, greedy king. He dreamed of starting a kingdom where his men could live in peace and benefit from their loyalty and hard work. This dream seemed unlikely until Lord Akir was approached by a wizard claiming to have had a vision of an abandoned kingdom far to the unexplored north. Lord Akir was a practical man who thought that all wizards were charlatans, but there was something different about this wizard. Deciding to take a chance, Lord Akir sails north with several ships and discovers a lush kingdom which is indeed abandoned as the wizard predicted. Now the wizard suggests that they sail farther north where he maintains lies the Fairy Kingdom, claiming the legendary fairies would help Lord Akir establish his new kingdom. Lord Akir is no fool. He knows that the wizard has his own reasons for wishing to visit the Fairy Kingdom and as soon as their interests no longer aligned, there would be trouble....
There are fairy tales that surprise, destabilise, or even shock us: these are uncanny fairy tales that manipulate familiar stories in creative and bewildering ways in order to express new meanings. This work analyses these tales, basing its approach on a reformulation of Freud’s concept of the uncanny. Through a cognitive outlook the employed theoretical framework provides new perspectives on the study of experimental literary fairy tales. Considering English-language literature, complex and unsettling reinterpretations of the fairy-tale discourse began to appear during the Victorian Age, later resurfacing as a postmodern trend. This research individuates uncanny-related narrative techniques and cognitive responses as means to decodify and explore these tales, and as ways to discover unseen connections between Victorian and postmodern texts. The new theorisation of the uncanny is linked with three subconcepts: mirror, hybridity, and wonder, which function as tools to describe and investigate the cognitive and emotional entanglements characterising enigmatic and disorienting fairy tales.
