It’s Beltane, so Merry Meet Blogsprites!

April’s Scary Fairy theme proved to be a hit so I will continue to add to the album Faerie Lore & Fairy Tales this month. It’s still in-keeping as May will be all about books!

I will be Spring cleaning my personal mini-library and sharing my thoughts on what I find, directing you to some interesting literary festivals and dropping in a few book reviews too.

I would love to hear your opinions on literature and book awards as I have been tasked with presenting Versatile Blogger Awards to some of my favourite sites.

I value my peers’ opinions most of all so I will be choosing carefully and introducing you to some wonderful indie authors in the process.

Wishing you a fun and sunny May, Lily xx

Pitch Black & Fey on Film. Little Red Riding Hood #1 (Inspired Fan Trailer).

Posted in Movies, Music, tagged Angela Carter, Angela Lansbury, Company of Wolves, David Warner, fairy tales, Fairytale, Films, Folklore, Gothic, Horror, Literature, Little Red Riding Hood, Movies, Neil Jordan, Stephen Rea, werewolf, Wolf on April 13, 2012 | 1 Comment »

Few Fairy Tales are as dark and multifaceted as Little Red’s.

Angela Carter wrote the screenplay for Neil Jordan’s lush and evocative adaptation of Carter’s own collected short writings and radio plays.

This wonderful fan trailer for The Company of Wolves is by the talented Hedge Labyrinth with music from the Requiem For A Dream soundtrack.

Thank heaven for little girls, they grow up in the most peculiar ways …

From Aliens To Vampires And Angels To Zombies…

Posted in Books, Movies, Reviews, tagged Angela Carter, Book review, Brothers Grimm, Fairytale, Kelpie, Lily Wight, Margo Lanagan, Mirror Mirror, Rollrock, Tarsem Singh, Tender Morsels on April 3, 2012 | 3 Comments »

Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror is released tomorrow, Blogsprites.

So begins a veritable tidal-wave of Fairy Tale themed movies, not to mention TV series such as Once Upon a Time and Grimm. In the Nineties we had aliens, then vampires got their moment in the sun (ahem), next angels and zombies were mooted as the next “Big Thing” and now it is back to source with myth stripped back to its most familiar and parochial form.

If you are a Fairy Tale fan keep dropping by for my recommendations

I stumbled across Margo Lanagan by chance in my local library. Such is the power of a well designed book cover! Her recently released novel, The Brides of Rollrock Island, delves into Kelpie lore. Here is my review of Lanagan’s astonishing Tender Morsels…

Margo Lanagan has an innate understanding of the dark undercurrents of Fairytale, something seldom seen since the heyday of Fantasy pioneer Angela Carter.

Lanagan delivers a sublime insight into the diverse, contradictory, complex and myriad aspects of femininity, without ever straying into reactionary feminist territory.

Intensely lyrical, joyous and heartbreaking by turn, Tender Morsels explores illusion and reality’s interdependence by seamlessly crafting an enchanting patchwork quilt of tales within tales.

With its vibrant characters, dialogue ripe with colloquialisms and images which will haunt your imagination Lanagan’s novel is a rare treat; gritty yet poetic and constantly enlightening.

Reblogged from World Weaver Press:

Special fairy tale edition of our usual quick round-up of news and factoids, articles and more that struck our fancy, tickled our interest, and had us scratching our heads. For readers, writers, and genre fans of any form.

A cache of 500 folk tales were discovered in Germany recently, many of which have not been a part of our previously documented understanding of the folk tradition in Europe.

Read more… 560 more words, 1 more video

A brilliant little film, such exciting news about the new cache of Fairy Tales and LOADS more Fairy stuff on its way!

In this painting by Basia-AlmostTheBrave on deviantart, a girl walks a winged horse through a forest of - what else - A. muscaria. Love the dreamy quality of this one.
