Synopsis

In "Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales," Juliana Horatia Ewing reimagines classic fairy tales with a genteel and moralistic lens, emphasizing themes of virtue, resilience, and the everyday struggles faced by both the young and the old. Ewing's narrative style fuses lyrical prose with a playful tone, characteristic of the late Victorian era, making these tales both accessible and enriching. The collection includes stories steeped in traditional folklore yet infused with a distinctive moral framework, reflecting the societal expectations of Ewing's time while also challenging certain norms. Juliana Horatia Ewing, a prominent children's author of the 19th century, was influenced by her own experiences as a storyteller in the family circle, where she cultivated a passion for nurturing moral consciousness in young readers. Her background in a devoutly Anglican household and her interactions with children inspired her to create stories that provide not just entertainment but also life lessons, thereby intertwining artistic expression with educational purpose. "Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales" is not merely a collection of stories; it is an invitation to explore the dualities of innocence and morality. Readers of all ages will find themselves enchanted by Ewing's charming narratives, making it a delightful addition to any literary collection that celebrates timeless tales and the values they convey.
