help of a smooth-talking African-American fairy, Harry learns how self-confidence can help him find his true love.By Baron Alexander Deschauer, Omar. 2017
IMAGINE UNA EXISTENCIA SIN PARAÍSO NI INFIERNO. Sin dioses ni demonios. Sólo nuestros pensamientos y albedrío. En esta existencia toda…
la vida está interconectada y es interactiva dentro de una conciencia superior. En contraste con Marlowe y Goethe, Deschauer presenta una cosmología y existencia que es tanto individual y total, carne y alma. El albedrío se enfrenta con el destino, lo mortal con lo inmortal. Se apunta a justificar los caminos de dios para la humanidad en una existencia carente de dios. Aún las inevitables construcciones de dios, anti-dios y mito son abrazadas por la humanidad en su búsqueda de sentido dentro de nuestra realidad. ¿ES EL AMOR EL SIGNIFICADO DE LA VIDA, EL ALBEDRÍO O LA INMORTALIDAD?By Angela Carter. 1990
Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales.…
This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts.By Susan Bianculli. 2015

After inheriting his title from his brother, the margrave has two weeks to find a noble bride. What will happen…
when he learns he has fallen for a lovely servant girl in disguise? The Margrave of Thornbeck has to find a bride, fast. He invites ten noble born ladies who meet the king's approval to be his guests at Thornbeck Castle for two weeks, a time to test these ladies and reveal their true character. Avelina has only two instructions: keep her true identity a secret and make sure the margrave doesn't select her as his bride. Since the latter seems unlikely, she concentrates on not getting caught. No one must know she is merely a maidservant, sent by the Earl of Plimmwald to stand in for his daughter, Dorothea. Despite Avelina's best attempts at diverting attention from herself, the margrave has taken notice. And try as she might, she can't deny her own growing feelings. But something else is afoot in the castle. Something sinister that could have far worse--far deadlier--consequencesBy Ripley Proserpina. 2017

Briar Rose is sick of everyone thinking she's perfect. Her parents won't stop doting, her guardian fairies are being real…
pests, and even her teachers act like she can do no wrong. Her classmates at Princess School copy everything she does and, ugh, they keep calling her Beauty. Only Ella, Rapunzel, and Snow seem to like Rose for who she really is. Rose is fed up--and determined to prove that she's more than just a pretty face. She's forming a secret plan to do just that.

Sophie Darrow said yes once to a young man offering a realm of Greek gods and immortality. Now her home…
has been shattered, and her friends and family pulled along with her as they run from an evil cult and take shelter in the gloomy Underworld. To love, trust, and smile again seems almost out of Sophie's reach. But remembering the life of the original Persephone and her fellow immortals long ago may prove the best therapy, as well as their key to victory. In ancient times too, the murderous cult Thanatos attacked and eventually wiped out the Greek immortals who sought to bring good to humankind. But those immortals planted seeds in both their realm and ours to ensure that their season would bloom again someday. And spring is finally coming.By Molly Ringle. 2014

A tale of witchcraft and retribution in 14th-century Yorkshire is told through the eyes of a penitent monk. In the…
credulous squalor of medieval Yorkshire, a peasant girl is accused of being a sorceress. The suffering inflicted upon her by male superstition sparks a spectacular and terrifying retort which initiates the legend of Sycorax. Many years later, the story is recounted by Edmund, a flawed monk at Byland Abbey, who sets out to write a history of the witch as a penance for lascivious fantasies. In the process, he uncovers a brutal and eerie tale in which he becomes fatally involved. Not just a trip into another epoch, and more than just another supernatural thriller, this cunning mock-translation of the medieval tale of Sycorax reveals that the compulsions and delusions examined are endemic in us all today.By Isabel Mª Garrido Bayano, Marzia Bosoni. 2018
Seis cuentos fantásticos para niños ambientados en el bosque del viejo roble En el denso bosque, allí donde los árboles…
son más gruesos y la luz apenas alumbra el suelo, se abre de repente un gran claro. El viejo roble vive allí y cuenta al viento las extraordinarias aventuras de los habitantes del bosque. Sus historias hablan de Parpar, la oruga que siempre tenía miedo porque sabía que en el bosque vivía un gran enemigo; de la hermosa Silverina, un hada de cascada que se enamoró de un elfo de los árboles; de la vieja roca, cuya sabiduría ayudó a incontables personas pero no pudo salvarlas de su arrogancia; y de Ashur y de la historia bella y triste de su hija Bath-alon. El viejo roble del claro sabe mil historias y le encanta contárselas a quien se sienta sobre una piedra, a la sombra de sus ramas, o a quien, tumbado en la cama, es capaz de oler el perfume del lejano bosque.By Ivair Antonio Gomes, Ricardo Miambo. 2018
