Once upon a time...,
By Jacob King "Of all that is written I love onl... (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
Once upon a time I believed in witches. I also believed in ogres and ghosts. I knew that sooner or later I would leave home to seek my fortune and that the real world - the world out there beyond our front gate was a strange and weird place full of woodsmen and princesses and treasure everywhere. Along the way some of the weirdness started to get sucked out. Dull grey people with dull grey concerns began to shepherd me into a world with neither wonder or excitement.Reading Angel Carter's fairy tales is a reminder of what the real world is like. They have the power to make you feel like a kid again. Fairy tales are distilled folk wisdom, the DNA of the collective imagination of our ancestors, and in Carter's hands they are seriously weird. |
