Mary De Morgan

In ihrem dritten und letzten M rchenband erz hlt Mary De Morgan die Geschichte eines M dchens, das von den Windfeen das Tanzen erlernt, aber dieses Geheimnis nie im Leben verraten darf ... sp ter als Mutter von zwei kleinen Kindern ger t sie durch dieses Geheimnis in Todesgefahr. Das zweite M rchen zeigt sehr humoristisch, wie verh ngnisvoll es sein kann, einen Schein vorzugeben, der nicht zum echten Sein passt. Das dritte M rchen zeigt eine Beziehung, in welcher der eine ohne den anderen nicht leben mag. Abgesehen von der Geschichte mit der Katze, die einen alten geizigen Mann bekehrt, geht es in den weiteren vier M rchen um starke Frauen, die ihren Weg gehen. Und das letzte M rchen zeigt, wie ein Mann in die F nge eines b sen Gnoms ger t und wie es ihm mit seiner Frau gelingt, sich daraus zu befreien. - Die Windfeen - Die eingebildete Kesta - Der Teich & der Baum - Naninas Schafe - Der Becher der Zigeunerin - Die Geschichte einer Katze - Der stumme Othmar - Die Regenmaid - Der Ackermann & der Gnom Die Illustrationen in diesem M rchenband stammen von Olive Cockerell.

In ihrem zweiten M rchenband erz hlt Mary De Morgan, wie Prinzessin Fiorimonde der vom Vater gew nschten Hochzeit aus dem Weg geht, indem sie alle Prinzen und K nige, die um sie freien, verzaubert ... und nat rlich kommt am Ende ein junger Held, der sie alle wieder befreit. In weiteren M rchen geht es um eine lange Wanderschaft, nachdem die verzauberte Geliebte verloren ist, und um einen Prinzen, der viele Jahre schwere Arbeit leistet, um das verzauberte Herz einer Prinzessin zu befreien. Die n chsten M rchen zeigen durchaus humoristische Z ge, beispielsweise die klugen K nige, die lieber als Hirten oder Handwerker arbeiten, um von der l stigen Regierungsarbeit verschont zu bleiben. Das letzte M rchen zeigt wieder eine f r Mary De Morgan typische starke Frauenfigur, aber das ist ein M rchen ohne das traditionelle Happy End. - Die Halskette der Prinzessin Fiorimonde - Die Wanderschaft des Arasmon - Das Herz der Prinzessin Joan - Das Hausiererpack - Das Brot der Unzufriedenheit - Ihr drei klugen K nige - Die weise Prinzessin Die M rchen sind wundervoll gestaltet mit Illustrationen Walter Crane, der auch heute noch f r seine k nstlerischen Werke bekannt ist.

Rediscover a Victorian-era collection of fairy tales. Employing sorcery, a wicked princess wears the princes and kings who desire to marry her as crystal beads strung on a gold chain around her neck. A musician searches the world for his missing wife, unaware that elves have transformed her into the golden harp he plays every day. A determined prince embarks on a quest to find the evil fairy who stole the heart of his beloved princess. These are just a few of the inventive and captivating stories in this fine new edition of Mary De Morgan's fairy tales, The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde and Other Stories (1880). Despite her fairy tales being well-known and loved during her time, De Morgan has been overlooked by history and largely forgotten. Considered one of the earliest feminist writers, her influential fairy tales often reflected her social and political ideologies, including reform for women. Featuring strong heroines and subverted gender roles, her untraditional stories often eschewed wealth and power, and occasionally ended sadly with no happily-ever-after. Also included in this new edition is the story "Through the Fire" from On a Pincushion (1877), De Morgan's first published book of fairy tales. Immerse yourself in a young boy's adventure as he journeys to the North Pole on a mission for the fire Princess. Fans of Hans Christian Anderson and George MacDonald will adore De Morgan's rediscovered collection of fairy tales. Foreword by Dr. Marilyn Pemberton, Out of the Shadows: The Life and Works of Mary De Morgan (2012).
