A First Book of Fairy Tales

Product Information

Don’t worry, I will not ruin anything for you but this novel is simply amazing. The way King blurred reality into fantasy completely blew me away. Even all the scary and horror situations were perfect that led to an awesome fairy tale story that was unique and just so good. The atmosphere, world-building, character development, and the pure creepiness of everything King built just really resonated well with me. Once I got to the 80% mark, it was incredibly hard to put this down to see what would ultimately transpire. Rapunzel is a beautiful and motivational fairy tale. The story shows how a poor couple lost their daughter Rapunzel when they stole fruit from their neighbor’s garden. It also focuses on how the angelic voice of Rapunzel reunites her with her lover. One final random thought… to go with the absolute shit-ton of random thoughts that have comprised this “review”: As Leah was leaving Charlie’s bedside during his recovery he thought of a haiku he studied in an English class: Walt Disney chose the fairy tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for his first animated feature film – and the movie-going audiences loved it! Indeed, it’s widely-heralded as a masterpiece and made Disney a household name – and a fortune. But it probably wouldn’t have been so popular had Uncle Walt kept in some of the more disturbing elements of the story.

I kept thinking that it was all going to tie together into something more clever at the end, have a bigger meaning, be a metaphor for something, but it more or less just petered out. In the end, I actually think the slow beginning was the best part of the story.

Are you wondering how centuries-old fairy tales can benefit your child in this digital age? Well, no matter how old fairy tales are, they can always make your kid’s childhood happy and memorable. The book introduces us to Charlie when he's a young kid. As the book progresses, we see the maturity and growth he comes to terms with and is introduced to Howard Bowditch. However, it is obvious that this book gives us another of the worlds of the wheel we were introduced to in The Dark Tower, which means we also get elements of gunslinging heroics and desolate worlds. Every fairy tale is attached to a moral lesson. Fairy tales often leave us with a strong message, whether it is being good or believing in love or friendship.I’m sure I can tell this story. I’m also sure no one will believe it. That’s fine with me. Telling it will be enough. My problem—and I’m sure many writers have it, not just newbies like me—is deciding where to start. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o MacManus, Seumas (1899).

Eventually, Charlie not only becomes Mr. Bowditch's friend, but is told his secret and that opens a whole new can of worms. Not because Charlie is greedy - because he cares. In fact, caring is basically what this book was all about for me. That is mainly because stories capture our interest in a much better way. And once we learn something with an interest, we tend to not forget that information.a b Ulrich Marzolph.

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. You can forget anything in your life, but you can never forget all the classic fairy tales that you have heard in your childhood. Have you ever thought, why?
