All the characters in this book are fictitious, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. In addition, the magical world of Lyndesfarne described in this book is entirely fictitious, and bears no resemblance to the charming Holy Island of Lindesfarne in North East England. 4 © Trevor Hopkins 2007-2009 Chapter One Life for Kevin and Tanji had fallen into a regular pattern. Not a rut, exactly – the mysterious world of Lyndesfarne was even now far too new and exciting a place for Kevin to be in the slightest bit bored and, although Tanji knew vastly more about his own world than he knew about hers, there was still a great many interesting things for them to do together. Kevin’s introduction to Lyndesfarne – a series of events now quite a few years in the past – had been a slow and, he understood only in hindsight, extremely carefully managed process. Being initiated in the existence of what many might regard as an entirely mythical world was a delicate and protracted business, although the Other World itself was one whose description in myths and legends had a surprisingly consistent character across several continents and thousands of years. His first exposure to the enchanting strangeness of the Other World was when Kevin had been commissioned as the leading architect for the construction of the New Bridge.

    You mustn’t call them by name ... they are the “good neighbors,” the “fair folk,” or the “gentry.” Don’t draw their attention, for those they notice are drawn into their stories, which no mortal can survive unchanged. Stay away from the edges of the dark woods, respect your superiors, and do what society expects. Or the faeries will come for you! The faeries of Mythic Europe live according to roles and stories, drawing vitality from mortals who play by their rules. Some vampiric faeries steal vitality from blood, while others draw it from the garlic placed over doors to keep them out. Some fey dragons live by devouring knights and feasting on the fear they create, while others exist to be defeated, drawing vitality from the knight’s victory. But afterwards, the dead dragon and the defeated vampire always take on a new role, to continue the faerie story. AG0290 • ISBN 1-58978-105-8 What story will they make you tell?

  • Tales of the Fey: the Use of Traditional Faerie Folklore in Contemporary Young Adult Fantasy Novels by Caralyn Andersen B.A
    Tales of the Fey: The use of traditional Faerie folklore in contemporary young adult fantasy novels by Caralyn Andersen B.A. Simon Fraser University, 1992 B.Ed. University of British Columbia, 1996 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Children's Literature) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) June 2008 © Caralyn Andersen 2008 Abstract There are many examples of novel-length renditions of traditional fairy tales to be found in young adult fantasy literature. Although there is a significant amount of research on the evolution of the fairy tale into novel length narratives, there is little focused on the use of the folklore of Faerie in fantasy novels. This thesis examines the Faerie-related folkloric themes and motifs to be found in four examples of contemporary young adult fantasy novels: An Earthly Knight, Thomas the Rhymer, Tithe, and The Hunter's Moon. Each of these narratives is rich in Faerie folklore. The authors, Janet McNaughton, Ellen Kushner, Holly Black, and O.R. Melling, have gone beyond the pop-culture image of the fairy and explored the many aspects of Faerie to be found in folklore. In their unique ways, these authors each explore Faerie as a realm full of marvels and contradictions, while remaining true to the nature of Faerie found in folklore. This strong base in traditional sources strengthens and adds depth to these narratives. Table Of Contents Abstract ii Table Of Contents iii Acknowledgements v Chapter 1: Introduction
