A Fall from the Sky This myth was about a mortal named Daedalus who killed his nephew/apprentice after he grew jealous of his skills. After he killed him he fled, and had a son of his own who was killed in a similar manner to his nephew. I enjoyed the many themes that applied to life throughout the myth. The Goat Faced Girl Masaniello was the father of 12 daughters. One day he met a lizard who asked for his youngest daughter in return for money. He agreed, and the lizard took great care of the daughter. A kind aked for Renzolla’s hand in marriage and when she left to go with him she did not thank the lizard. In return the lizard turned her into a goat face. The king treated her very poorly, because of what she looked like. Finally, one day a man madeher realize what she had done. The hyperbole was the fact that her face was turned into a goat as a consequence of not saying thank you.This book was good, because of the obvious causes and affects throughout the plot. Sunchild This book is about a childless woman who gets a daughter from the sun named Letiko. She has to promise to send her back when she is 12. When she didn’t the sun took her back which caused sadness, which eventually cause the sun to return her to her mother. This book was very short, but had a string message. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: The Fairy Books, or "Coloured" Fairy Books is a collection of fairy tales divided into twelve books, each associated with a different colour. Collected together by Andrew Land they are sourced from a number of different countries and were translated by Lang's wife and other translators who also retold many of the tales. The collection has been incalculably important and, although he did not source the stories himself direct from the oral tradition he can make claim to the first English translation of many. First published in 1900, The Grey Fairy Bookis the 6th volume in this series. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

It was interesting learning new fairy tales that weren't the normal ones, but honestly, I think I just checked these books out because I had read almost every single book in the kid's section of the Westminster Public Library and these were left, so. . . . ( )
