Summary

Evelyn Sharp's 'The Other Side of the Sun: Fairy Stories' is an enchanting collection of eight stories that casts a bewitching spell on its readers, guiding them through realms of imagination and wonder. With a literary style tailored for a youthful audience, Sharp employs whimsical language and inventively humorous nomenclature to bring her characters to vibrant life. The narrative embodies classical fairy tale elements while hinting at allegories and moral lessons pertinent to the early 20th-century context in which the stories were composed, inviting a sense of fantastical escapism alongside subtle social commentary.

Sharp, a prolific author and key figure in the suffragist movement, brings to this work a distinct feminist sensibility layered with her political ideology and advocacy for children's rights. Her experiences and beliefs percolate through the tapestry of her storytelling, offering readers not only entertainment but also a compelling reflection of the era's zeitgeist. Sharp's feminist ethos, combined with her literary ingenuity, culminates in these tales that captivate while implicitly questioning societal norms.

A literary treasure for both children and adults, 'The Other Side of the Sun: Fairy Stories' remains a testament to the enduring power of fairy tales to amuse and inspire. Through Sharp's vivid imagination and dexterous wordplay, the collection invites readers to look beyond the mundane and consider the extraordinary possibilities that lie just out of sight. It is an essential read for those who appreciate early feminist literature, and for anyone who cherishes the timeless joy of fairy stories and their ability to reveal real-world truths through the lens of the fantastic.
