  • On Fairy Stories by J
    On Fairy Stories By J. R. R. Tolkien On Fairy-stories This essay was originally intended to be one of the Andrew Lang lectures at St. Andrews, and it was, in abbreviated form, delivered there in 1938. To be invited to lecture in St. Andrews is a high compliment to any man; to be allowed to speak about fairy-stories is (for an Englishman in Scotland) a perilous honor. I felt like a conjuror who finds himself, by mistake, called upon to give a display of magic before the court of an elf-king. After producing his rabbit, such a clumsy performer may consider himself lucky, if he is allowed to go home in proper shape, or indeed to go home at all. There are dungeons in fairyland for the overbold. And overbold I fear I may be accounted, because I am a reader and lover of fairy-stories, but not a student of them, as Andrew Lang was. I have not the learning, nor the still more necessary wisdom, which the subject demands. The land of fairy-story is wide and deep and high, and is filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever-present peril; both sorrow and joy as sharp as swords. In that land a man may (perhaps) count himself fortunate to have wandered, but its very riches and strangeness make dumb the traveller who would report it. And while he is there it is dangerous for him to ask too many questions, lest the gates shut and the keys be lost.

Last Updated: 02-07-2013 HO-767, Enchanted Forest 10040 Baltimore National Pike, EUicott City Howard County 1955 Private CAPSULE SUMMARY The Enchanted Forest Theme Park is located on Route 40 just west of EUicott City. Now surrounded by residential development to the north and shopping malls and other commercial development to the east and west, it is hard to believe that when it opened it was out in the country. Conceived of as a family oriented theme park where young children and their families could go into the fairy tales they all knew by heart, visitors found a wooded, tranquil park with its own lake and streams where winding paths led from a larger than life interpretation of the Three Little Pigs past Humpty Dumpty on his wall to the Old Lady's Shoe which incorporated a slide.

  • Exploring Trauma Through Fantasy
    IN-BETWEEN WORLDS: EXPLORING TRAUMA THROUGH FANTASY Amber Leigh Francine Shields A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2018 Full metadata for this thesis is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this thesis: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/16004 This item is protected by original copyright This item is licensed under a Creative Commons Licence https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 4 Abstract While fantasy as a genre is often dismissed as frivolous and inappropriate, it is highly relevant in representing and working through trauma. The fantasy genre presents spectators with images of the unsettled and unresolved, taking them on a journey through a world in which the familiar is rendered unfamiliar. It positions itself as an in-between, while the consequential disturbance of recognized world orders lends this genre to relating stories of trauma themselves characterized by hauntings, disputed memories, and irresolution. Through an examination of films from around the world and their depictions of individual and collective traumas through the fantastic, this thesis outlines how fantasy succeeds in representing and challenging histories of violence, silence, and irresolution. Further, it also examines how the genre itself is transformed in relating stories that are not yet resolved. While analysing the modes in which the fantasy genre mediates and intercedes trauma narratives, this research contributes to a wider recognition of an understudied and underestimated genre, as well as to discourses on how trauma is narrated and negotiated.

  • Genre Study-- Fantasy
    Top Picks for Fantasy Beauty: a Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley A most unforgettable love story is wonderfully reinvented in this Young Adult fantasy novel where Beauty is no beauty, but rather her father's plainest but most faithful daughter who must leave her family to enter the enchanted world of the Beast. Much of the classic fairy tale remains unaltered by McKinley, but added details and observations, narrated in first-person by our heroine, grant the story complexity and realism by allowing young readers to more deeply delve into the emotions of this cursed-- and then blessed-- pair of lovers. The Bellmaker by Brian Jacques Joseph the Bellmaker is troubled. It has been four seasons since his warrior-mouse daughter, Mariel, and her companion, Dandin, set off from Redwall to fight evil in Mossflower. Nothing has been heard of them since. Then one night, in a dream, the legendary Martin the Warrior comes to the Bellmaker with a mysterious message. The Conan Chronicles by Robert Jordan Less than nineteen years old, and new to the snares and enticements of civilization, the young Conan must join forces with Karela, a dangerously seductive female bandit, to storm the palace of Amanar, a supremely evil necromancer, and confront the dreaded Eater of Souls. Conan the Defender: As revolution brews in the shadowy streets of Belverus, Conan braves the traps and treacheries of the Royal Palace of the Dragon. Pursued by the luscious and shameless Sularia, the mighty warrior challenges a magic- spawned menace that cannot die: the invincible Simulacrum of Albanus.

  • The Enchanted Forest As a Place of Knowing
    The Enchanted Forest as a Place of Knowing Patsy Maritz … the feathers from the wings of angels are taken and strewn along the forest paths. Only the women who need enter the forest see them rocking softly on a leafy bed. Introduction In his essay ‘Fairy Tales as Ways of Knowing’, Bruno Bettelheim states of women who have confronted their deepest fears: Having found their own strength and gained the ability to exercise it, they no longer need to live in fear, or to depend on others for their well-being. Life will be good for them forever after. It [is] their experience in the dark and pathless forest; it [is] their successful encounter with terror which did all this for them. Finding oneself in a dark, impenetrable forest is an ancient literary image for [a woman] in need of gaining self knowledge (Bettelheim 1981:14). When a woman has a powerful internal struggle and descends into the unconscious mind or the deep feminine (a well-hidden locale under many layers of thought and feeling), the struggle on a metaphorical level manifests itself in a difficult journey through the world between worlds, one of the ‘ancient literary images’ to which Bettelheim refers. After her induction, the woman dies to her former way of knowing and acquires a different way of knowing, relinquishing her naïve and childish Alternation 14,2 (2007) 137 - 157 ISSN 1023-1757 137 Patsy Maritz understanding of the world for a more mature awareness and comprehension.

For centuries, they have grown, evolved, and reshaped; they have taken many different forms and projected many different messages across a vast number of cultures. It is because of this growth and adaptability that the fairy tale has become one of the world’s most important literary traditions. But fairy tales have become so engrained in today’s society that we often fail to appreciate them. We see them everywhere and pass them off as children’s stories, failing to revisit them as adults. They have become synonymous with the myth of simpler times, where good and evil were always black and white and the hero always lives happily ever after.

Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”1 I introduce my work with this quotation from The Hobbit (1937) by J.R.R. Tolkien because the fantasy novel is its core matter. This short passage perfectly represents my goal, that is to find the origin of the magic world of The Hobbit by looking at the processes of mythography and mythopoetics carried out by the author and by investigating the dynamicity of myth and the subsequent creation of new myths. Thus, speaking in Tolkienian terms, I look for the primary world in the secondary one and, through a journey in the magic world of Tolkien’s The Hobbit, I analyse not only the nature of myth, but also the figure of the hero, who, with his admirable humanity, transmits a message of tolerance and justice and represents the new myth.

  • ENCHANTED FOREST HALS OR-4 8462 Enchanted Way SE HALS OR-4 Turner Marion Oregon
    ENCHANTED FOREST HALS OR-4 8462 Enchanted Way SE HALS OR-4 Turner Marion Oregon WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY ENCHANTED FOREST HALS NO. OR-4 Location: 8462 Enchanted Way SE, Turner, Marion County, Oregon Lat: 44.83197 Long: -123.00888 (Park Entrance, Google Earth, Simple Cylindrical Projection, WGS84) Significance: The Enchanted Forest is likely to be the first storybook theme park in Oregon, and has been continually owned and operated by the Tofte family since its earliest beginnings in 1964. The park opened to the public in 1971. Description: The Enchanted Forest is a place for family entertainment that makes the most of the lush vegetation of the site, a second-growth native forest. Oregon's dry and sunny summer weather makes the dappled shade of the forest an inviting place and an ideal backdrop to bring fairy tales alive and create a diverse, fantasy theme park. Although the parking lot is visible from Interstate 5 south of Salem, Oregon, one enters a different world after passing through the entry building. The park is situated under a virtually continuous forest canopy, composed of maturing native trees and plants such as Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), vine maple (Acer circinatum) and Pacific rhododendron (Rhododendron macrophyllum). The restoration and preservation of this forest as wildlife habitat and shady retreat is an important part of the park's mission. The trees are carefully thinned to allow some light to reach through to the attractions.
