'The Queen and the bat had been talking a good deal that
afternoon...' The Victorian fascination with fairyland vivified the
literature of the period, and led to some of the most imaginative
fairy tales ever written. They offer the shortest path to the age's
dreams, desires, and wishes. Authors central to the
nineteenth-century canon such as W. M. Thackeray, Oscar Wilde, Ford
Madox Ford, and Rudyard Kipling wrote fairy tales, and authors
primarily famous for their work in the genre include George
MacDonald, Juliana Ewing, Mary De Morgan, and Andrew Lang. This
anthology brings together fourteen of the best stories, by these
and other outstanding practitioners, to show the vibrancy and
variety of the form and its abilities to reflect our deepest
concerns. In tales of whimsy and romance, witty satire and uncanny
mystery, love, suffering, family and the travails of identity are
imaginatively explored. Michael Newton's introduction and notes
provide illuminating contextual and biographical information about
the authors and the development of the literary fairy tale. A
selection of original illustrations is also included. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
