Sinopse

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.

From sick students to sprained ankles, it's quite the performance from Milly and co. The feis is turning into a fiasco …  and they'll be lucky to get home in one piece, let alone with any medals!
