The Big Book of Fairy Tales

Product Information

Cómo me ha gustado! Una primera parte maravillosa, para degustar despacio a pequeños sorbos, King en estado puro. La segunda, el cuento de hadas, fantasía al estilo King. Buena prosa, buen estilo, buena historia, buen final. Y ante todo, dos personajes, un chico y una perra, directos al corazón toda la lectura y más allá. El maestro es el maestro y no hay que darle más vueltas. The narrator of this book is a 17-year old boy who might be the most anachronistic high-school kid I've ever read. King goes into this one knowing that he doesn't have the knowledge of what it's like to be a 17-year-old kid in today's world, so writes him as if he's more of a 45 year old man. When Charlie, the protagonist, references sports heroes, it's Mike Tyson and Shaquille O'Neal he mentions (because his father made him watch YouTube videos of them). When he encounters a skeleton-monster, he relates him to the Skeletor action figure he used to have when he was a kid, despite the fact that He-Man wasn't popular during his supposed childhood hears. a b c Darnton, Robert (1985).

There's also some problems with the Babelfish issue. After a long, grinding preamble, Charlie finally goes down the rabbit hole and passes through a barrier that makes his head fuzzy for a moment and somehow allows him to speak the language of the place on the other side. He's realizes that he's speaking another language and is unable to say things that there is no translation for such as "awesome sauce," which I believe King thinks is authentic 17-year-old speech. King goes on to show many instances of this solution to the babel fish problem. He repeats it over and over again, almost unnecessarily so. Then he stops. It's toward the end of the book and all of the sudden, he's saying words that people from Other don't understand. That he can say them is against the rules King has built for his world. Twice in short succession he says things that his friends from Other don't understand and ask him what it means. As much as this might seem like a minor thing, it's indicative of the laziness that this book was written with and is something an editor surely should have caught. In my humble opinion, (and I say this without having yet read Billy Summers or Sleeping Beauties), I think FAIRY TALE stands right up there with King's best. It's, perhaps, King's best work in years. Andrew Lang included a variant called "The True History of Little Goldenhood" [36] in The Red Fairy Book (1890). He derived it from the works of Charles Marelles, [37] in Contes of Charles Marelles. This version explicitly states that the story had been mistold earlier. The girl is saved, but not by the huntsman; when the wolf tries to eat her, its mouth is burned by the golden hood she wears, which is enchanted. Nikita Gill's 2018 poetry collection Fierce Fairytales: & Other Stories to Stir Your Soul alludes to Little Red Riding Hood in the poem "The Red Wolf." [57]DiMare, Philip, ed. (2011).

It would also be fair to say I'm not a diehard Stephen King fan, even though I've read quite a few of his books and I do respect him greatly as an author and a storyteller. In the free-to-play mobile game Minimon: Adventure of Minions (2016), Luna is a wolflike minion and agent of a secret society with humanlike physical characteristics who wears a red hood when awakened, which references both the wolf and Red Riding Hood. The only problem was the difference between the first and second part of the book - the first definitely being better.

So the part of my heart that isn't shriveled and cold was really rooting for this kid to come out of this adventure with a not-dead pup.

The tale has been interpreted as a puberty rite, stemming from a prehistoric origin (sometimes an origin stemming from a previous matriarchal era).
