New Book: Indexing by Seanan McGuire

Indexing by Seanan McGuire is not exactly a new book. It was published as an ebook serial in 2013. However, it is now available in its entirety in ebook format and will be released tomorrow in paperback for the first time.

So if you are interested in the dead tree version of the book, here's your chance.

Book description:

“Never underestimate the power of a good story.”

Good advice…especially when a story can kill you.

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

That's where the ATI Management Bureau steps in, an organization tasked with protecting the world from fairy tales, even while most of their agents are struggling to keep their own fantastic archetypes from taking over their lives. When you're dealing with storybook narratives in the real world, it doesn't matter if you're Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or the Wicked Queen: no one gets a happily ever after.

Indexing is New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.

This book was initially released in episodes as a Kindle Serial. All episodes are now available for immediate download as a complete book.

From a reader (Miss Bonnie) review:

The ATI (Aarne-Thompson Index) Management Bureau is a covert government agency that monitors fairy tale manifestations and prevents them from getting out of control.

Yes, we should all be entertained by a novel that plays with the Aarne-Thompson Index although it is now the Aarne-Thompson-Uther....

Mr. Fox by Helen Oyeyemi (Better Late Than Never)

(US / UK Links)
Mr. Fox by Helen Oyeyemi was released in 2011 and somehow it escaped my radar as a Bluebeard / Mr Fox retelling. Her books fall more into the "high literature" category of marketing which usually means they are harder to detect as fairy tale retellings. Hence I missed it for two years! And wow, that UK paperback cover is rather tragic. It had the same covers in hardcover in both regions.

(US / UK Links)
Oyeyemi has a new fairy tale inspired novel coming out next month, Boy, Snow, Bird: A Novel, which draws quite deliberately and uniquely from Snow White. But I'll post more about it closer to its release date. But for once the US won on the best cover of a hardcover. Much better than the UK cover, unless you have a snake phobia.

Book description for Mr Fox:

Winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Fiction
One of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists

From a prizewinning young writer, a brilliant and inventive story of love, lies, and inspiration.

Fairy-tale romances end with a wedding, and the fairy tales don't get complicated. In this book, the celebrated writer Mr. Fox can't stop himself from killing off the heroines of his novels, and neither can his wife, Daphne. It's not until Mary, his muse, comes to life and transforms him from author into subject that his story begins to unfold differently.

Mary challenges Mr. Fox to join her in stories of their own devising; and in different times and places, the two of them seek each other, find each other, thwart each other, and try to stay together, even when the roles they inhabit seem to forbid it. Their adventures twist the fairy tale into nine variations, exploding and teasing conventions of genre and romance, and each iteration explores the fears that come with accepting a lifelong bond. Meanwhile, Daphne becomes convinced that her husband is having an affair, and finds her way into Mary and Mr. Fox's game. And so Mr. Fox is offered a choice: Will it be a life with the girl of his dreams, or a life with an all-too-real woman who delights him more than he cares to admit?

The extraordinarily gifted Helen Oyeyemi has written a love story like no other. Mr. Fox is a magical book, endlessly inventive, as witty and charming as it is profound in its truths about how we learn to be with one another.

New Book: Snow White and Rose Red illustrated by Kelly Vivanco

  (US or UK)
I teased this book last year but it's now available to own! And I have a few more images to share, too. The book is Snow White and Rose Red illustrated by Kelly Vivanco. Lovely, lovely and not the usual interpretation of this beloved tale.


Book description:

Snow White and Rose Red are loving, happy sisters, although they are different as day and night. Together they live with their mother in cozy, peaceful cottage in the woods. Then, one snowy day, their peace is disturbed by a giant black bear looking for a warm place to rest. At first scared, the girls and their mother soon realize the bear is kind—in fact, there is more to the bear than meets the eye. Will the girls’ giving spirits rescue the bear from his troublesome and secretive fate? This age-old Brothers Grimm tale is here deftly retold and stunningly re-illustrated with modern, magical paintings by Kelly Vivanco.

Recent Book: Puss in Books by Catherine Britton

(US / UK Links)
Puss in Books by Catherine Britton was released last year in the US and in late 2012 in the UK. So it's not exactly new but it's not well known either. Since two chapters are devoted to Puss in Boots and Dick Whittington’s Cat as well as another chapter on The Cat and the Mouse in Partnership (the Grimms story), I thought it merited mention here.

Sidenote: And it reminds me that I am still considering a "Cats" title for the SurLaLune book series. Would there be interest in that here? I am not a cat lover, per se, but I do find their appearance in folklore fascinating. And I have a healthy collection of cat tales.

About the book:

Puss in Books is a celebration of feline wit, intelligence, aloofness and charm as presented through cats in books. Examples are taken from literature, folklore and popular culture. Feline references in books and manuscripts date from before 2000 BC in ancient Egypt, and since the introduction of cats to western households they have often inspired writers and artists - from the scribe of the Lindisfarne Gospels working in the 8th century to poets of the present day.

This selection includes cats in nursery rhymes (Hey Diddle Diddle and Ding Dong Bell); poetry by Thomas Gray (Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat Drowned in a Tub of Gold Fishes) and T S Eliot (Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats); cats in fiction by Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens; current characters such as Splat the Cat, and of course the ubiquitous Puss in Boots himself.

Wonderfully illustrated in colour throughout, this is an ideal gift for every cat lover.

About the author

Catherine Britton was a Senior Editor at the British Library and is the author of Dogs in Books (British Library, 2012).

Reviews

`Puss in Books tracks beloved cat characters like Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat as illustrated by Sir John Tenniel, to Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat... Britton takes the reader on a journey spanning famous felines throughout art and literature history.` Dorri Olds, Petside

Marvelous Transformations Giveaway: Enter for Chance to Win

(US / UK Links)
I have a few books and things to giveaway, so it's time to put your thinking caps on. Starting today through January 27th, I am accepting entries to win a copy of Marvelous Transformations: An Anthology of Fairy Tales and Contemporary Critical Perspectives by Christine A. Jones (Editor), Jennifer Schacker (Editor) from Broadview Press.

How do you enter for your chance to win? By answering this question by commenting on this post or emailing me.

What fairy tale and folklore NONFICTION title has most influenced you? Since I have a lengthy list myself, I will allow us to five (5) titles per person and you will get an entry per title you submit.

I will be sharing your lists as blog entries during the two week giveaway period. All entries must be received by 11:59 AM PST on January 27th. I will start a new giveaway the next day and announce the winner of this title, brand new and shrink wrapped from the publisher.

If you need help thinking of titles, consider my posts discussing Fairy Tale and Folklore Library Essentials. There is fiction on that list, but I am hoping for NONFICTION titles since I've asked about fiction plenty of times before.

And, yes, this is open to international readers, too.

And while we're here, Marvelous Transformations: An Anthology of Fairy Tales and Contemporary Critical Perspectives is a great book that has had some distribution issues since it was published a year ago. The publisher recommends ordering directly from them. Since that may not be as convenient for you as going to your favorite online bookseller, Broadview Press is offering a 20% discount for books ordered from their website or by phone (705-743-8990).

Book description:

Marvelous Transformations is an anthology of tales and original critical essays that moves beyond canonized "classics" and old paradigms, documenting the points of historical connection between literary tales and field-based collections.

This innovative anthology reflects current interdisciplinary scholarship on oral traditions and the cultural history of the print fairy tale. In addition to the tales, original critical essays, newly written for this volume, introduce readers to differing perspectives on key ideas in the field.

Comments:

"Christine Jones and Jennifer Schacker have created an unusual and fascinating anthology dedicated to the study of folklore and fairy tales. Instead of collecting a variety of tales from a particular country or from different parts of the world, they have assembled international texts chronologically, from earlier written traditions to contemporary transcriptions and translations. They have also included brief commentaries and essays on important topics. Their aim is to foster an interdisciplinary and historical approach to understanding the complex evolution of a genre, and it is to their great credit that they have produced a most original book that will be useful to readers who seek to grasp the mysterious changes that fairy tales have undergone ever since once upon a time." - Jack Zipes, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota

"We may think we know what fairy tales are and what they mean, but the stories and critical essays collected by Christine Jones and Jennifer Schacker succeed in making the seemingly familiar decidedly unfamiliar. Marvelous Transformations invites readers to discover fairy tales both well known and neglected and, at the end of the volume, a series of short essays that bring together the best of current literary and folkloric approaches to the genre. Students, teachers, scholars—indeed, all readers interested in fairy tales—have much to learn from this volume." - Lewis Seifert, Brown University

Christine A. Jones is Associate Professor of French at the University of Utah. She is the author of Shapely Bodies: The Image of Porcelain in Eighteenth-Century France (University of Delaware Press, 2012) and is currently completing annotated translations of Charles Perrault's fairy tales. Jennifer Schacker is Associate Professor in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. She is the author of National Dreams: The Remaking of Fairy Tales in Nineteenth-Century England (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003), winner of the 2006 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award.

Supplementary Materials:

A companion website for students featuring additional readings is available for this text. A passcode is provided with all new copies of the anthology.
