A Chosen Few Short Stories $0.99 According to Wikipedia: “Frank Richard Stockton (April 5, 1834 – April 20, 1902) was an American writer and humorist, best known today for a series of innovative children’s fairy tales that were widely popular during the last decades of the 19th century. Stockton avoided the didactic moralizing, common to children’s stories of the time, instead using clever humor to poke at greed, violence, abuse of power and other human foibles, describing his fantastic characters’ adventures in a charming, matter-of-fact way in stories like “The Griffin and the Minor Canon” (1885) and “The Bee-Man of Orn” (1887), which was published in 1964 in an edition illustrated by Maurice Sendak. His most famous fable is “The Lady, or the Tiger?” (1882), about a man sentenced to an unusual punishment for having a romance with a king’s beloved daughter. Taken to the public arena, he is faced with two doors, behind one of which is a hungry tiger that will devour him. Behind the other is a beautiful lady-in-waiting, whom he will have to marry, if he finds her. While the crowd waits anxiously for his decision, he sees the princess among the spectators, who points him to the door on the right. The lover starts to open the door and … the story ends abruptly there. Did the princess save her love by pointing to the door leading to the lady-in-waiting, or did she prefer to see her lover die rather than see him marry someone else? That discussion hook has made the story a staple in English classes in American schools, especially since Stockton was careful never to hint at what he thought the ending would be…” |

A Guide to Folktales in Fragile Dialects $10.95 A GUIDE TO FOLKTALES IN FRAGILE DIALECTS by award-winning author and poet Catherynne M. Valente is a delightful collection of poetry, short fables, and fairy tales that explore myth and wonder, ancient and modern, with an introduction by Midori Snyder. “Structured around a series of folktale motifs, Valente’s eloquent second full-length poetry collection dissects the perceived roles of women in Earth’s and otherworldly fable and myth…. enlightening and enthralling.” — Publishers Weekly “Catherynne Valente writes in the language of dreams, which is not rational and yet always makes sense. I could read the poems in this book a hundred times and find new meanings, new pleasures in them. It is an astonishingly beautiful and deeply satisfying accomplishment … A brilliant, beautiful book.” — Theodora Goss “A tale of two grandmothers, one mythical, one real, that will gently, inexorably break your heart. A story of a god’s petty curse reimagined as a sensual, sexual postmodern nightmare. A sinister conspiracy of black magic and murder hatched in the land of Lewis Carroll. Those are just tiny morsels in the decadent poetic feast found in A Guide to Folktales in Fragile Dialects — Catherynne Valente doesn’t so much retell legends and fairy tales as twist and sculpt them into new shapes, stunning objets d’art built from exhilarating language that never flinch from painful truths.” — Mike Allen, three-time Rhysling Award winner “Her poems enchant, enthrall and devastate, and this collection takes the astonishing skill she showed in Apocrypha and distills it, deepens it, sharpens it into a tool to carve stories out of language. If Sappho had written Ovid’s Metamorphoses, she could not have done better than this.” — SF Site Born in the Pacific Northwest in 1979, Catherynne M.

In this book Elvera takes the reader from serious to silly. Elvera opens her book with a challenging statement on thinking followed by the poem ‘For What’, as she leads the reader down the paths of captivity, slavery, the civil rights movement and to the present. It’s theme, History forgotten, History bound to repeat, becomes evident as you follow its progression and its seemingly regression. In her comments on Being Silly, Elvera writes “silliness should flush through your mind every now and then like a laxative through your system”. To this end, she explores some old Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes giving them a new look and a different spin. ‘The Trial of the “Big Bad” Wolf ‘, gives the wolf’s version of the Three Pig’s story. Although it’s intended to be humorous, Elvera still manage to deal with the issue of hatred and being bullied. This is a story not only for adults but for children as well. Even before this distribution, Elvera’s ‘The Trial of the “Big Bad” Wolf ‘ was adapted in play format and performed for elementary age children by the Fine Arts Department of Howard Community College. Her one-liners on Thinking, says a lot in so few words. Years before becoming Maryland’s Majority leader in the State Senate and a family friend, the late Senator Clarence Blount as her elementary school teacher, would say to her class: “Think young people, Think!” Elvera never forgot those words and in remembrance of him, wrote the one-liners to jog our thinking process. This thought provoking book is also designed to give the reader another insight into Death, Depression, Alzheimer and Aging. In Elvera’s questioning ‘Who is Schindler’, you may be surprised at the answer. Scattered throughout the book are blank pages to encourage the reader to immediately jot down any thoughts they wish to elabora |
