French Fairy Treasures

Around the World Treasures: Famous French Fairy Tales by the father of the French fairy tale Charles Perrault (1628-1703) and collected and adapted from the original Perrault by David Stone, was published in New York by Frankin Watts Inc., a division of Grolier, in 1959. The book includes The Picture Story of Perrault's Famous French Fairy Tales, illustrated by British artist and teacher Charles Mozley (1914-1991), a book illustrator and designer of posters, book covers, and print. Along with these striking color drawings are black-and-white illustrations depicting key moments within each story. Noel Streatfeild (1895-1986), an English children's book author, provides an introduction to the book. In it, she details the essential moments in Perrault's life that led him to write these stories. According to Streatfeild, before Perrault's Contes, nobody had ever read a fairy tale! Before that, these stories were passed down and enjoyed through oral tradition.

Perrault played a significant role in the literary controversy called the "Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns." At 23, he became a lawyer, following in his father's footsteps, before embarking on a political career, which led him into the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France. Spending time in his court is where Perrault garnered inspiration to write his stories. His simple, unaffected style breathed new life into half-forgotten folk tales. Interestingly, some of his versions influenced the German tales collected by the Brothers Grimm more than a century later.

So, whether you find yourself wondering in the woods like Little Red Riding Hood or dreaming of glass slippers like Cinderella, Perrault's timeless tales remain a delightful part of our childhood imagination, capturing the magic and wonder of storytelling for generations to come!

Every time I think about Lords of Fortune and their cultural sensitivity I have to go 'Don't think about it' like that Portal 2 scene, because I get too invested trying to understand the logic behind it and eventually short circuit.

Paleontologist Ben. You're welcome.

Also, Rey makes her appearance!

I've kind of worked out everyone's roles. Basically, Jannah is Monica, and was adopted by Han/Leia so she has the Ross/Monica sibling relationship with Kylo/Ben. Then Joey and Chandler are Poe and Finn, and Rose is Phoebe. Annnnnd making an appearance hopefully soon is ✨Hux✨ as Mike/David. Does any of this make remotely any sense? no. Am I rolling with it? yes, yes I am.

I am beginning to realize that everyone has two faces to them: the face they show to the world and the one on the inside, that keeps all its secrets.

The Treasure of Samarkand (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1460900177-the-treasure-of-samarkand?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=kimoyandex In the scorching desert town of Zahran, a young tailor named Remi stumbled upon a mysterious map while rummaging through a dusty old trunk in his small shop. The map depicted a winding path through the dunes, leading to a mysterious X marked "Treasure of the Ancients." Remi's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't wait to share his discovery with his shy but curious apprentice, Lila.
