Once Upon a Time: A Short History of Fairy Tale
Language: English
Published by Oxford University Press, United Kingdom, Oxford, 2014
ISBN 10: 0198718659 ISBN 13: 9780198718659

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater power to enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale? Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and Hans Andersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'A rallying cry for a deep rethink of how we build, buy and manage homes.' ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL 'A calm analysis of the concept of property ownership, its promises, successes and betrayals.' THE SPECTATOR 'Moore situates property where it belongs - in the centre of virtually every aspect of our lives.' SUNDAY TIMES Wherever you are on property's wheel of chance, you are likely to be powerfully affected by it. Perhaps you have changed your life in search of a place you can afford. Or maybe you are a homeowner who worries about a crash in prices. Or perhaps you have found you are shut out of the magic kingdom of ownership and forced into paying high rents to indifferent landlords. This is a powerful examination of how property came to shape the modern world - and why it now threatens the freedom and stability it was meant to sustain. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

TYPED LETTER SIGNED by the Dance & Music Critic BERT WECHSLER asking Jean Dalrymple her opinion of a confusing letter he received from the NYS Council on the Arts.

Signed
Condition: Fine. New York, December 11, 1976., 1976. Fine. - Several paragraphs typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide light creamy white paper. The dance & music critic Bert Wechsler writes asking City Center producer Jean Dalrymple's opinion as to a letter he "received from the NYS Council on the Arts. I thought you might be interested in seeing it. It confuses me in several ways." Many people, including Hugh Southern and Martin Segal, had assisted him and "On the day the enclosed letter was written, I spoke with Mrs. Hart's secretary. She told me only 2 positions had been filled at the time." Though not stated, it seems from his letter that he was told his application for a position had likely been turned down as all positions had been filled. Signed "Bert". Folded for mailing with some minor creases at the bottom. Else fine. The dance & music critic Bert Wechsler (1933-1997) had performed as an actor and singer before turning to writing. He worked as the editor of Music Journal in the 1980's as well as several newspapers and magazines. Wechsler was also the founding critic and reporter for the New York Theater Wire and co-wrote "Dear Rogue", a biography of the baritone Lawrence Tibbett. The recipient, Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
