List of Upcoming Tales to be added to SurLaLune
Okay, the overachiever in me is coming out strong right now. I have decided to add the following tales to my site, hopefully to appear in January. I already have templated the pages and just need to continue compiling the information for these tales.
The list is:
Donkey Skin
Six Swans
Princess and the Pea
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Three Little Pigs
Gingerbread Man
I may also add "Diamonds and Toads" and "Thumbelina" but those will come later.
I will be including histories, alternate cultural versions, modern interpretations, scholarship, etc. Once again, feel free to let me know of anything I may easily forget or have never known in the first place, especially with modern adult interpretations.
You can either post here or e-mail me at surlalune@aol.com. I am busily researching, scanning images and preparing texts in my free time and having fun along the way. Anyone with old out-of-copyright collections with illustrations is invited to share, too.

additions
Donkey Skin
Six Swans
Princess and the Pea
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Three Little Pigs
Gingerbread Man
Hmmm. We have pretty much "done" Donkeyskin, I think.
Nicholas Stewart Grey did a children's novel about Six Swans, I believe. And someone else (or maybe it was he) did a story or novel called about a swan-winged prince and his adventures.
Andthen there's Pig Kerr's realistic fantasy novel THE WILD SWANS.
I did versions of the next three in my book ONCE UPON A BEDTIME
STORY (Boyds Mills), but they are pretty much straight forward tellings.
I also did a companion CD/tape reading put out by Fabulous Records
www.fabulous-records.com/
Jane Dyer did a delicious board book of Goldilocks. And of course one needs to go back to the "Silverlocks" version.
I have done a poem (haiku) about Gingerbread Man coming out inm a book soon.

new tales
Heidi, did you ever get a copy of Tales, Then and Now? Anna and I have as many reworkings as we could find (although they have been selected as suitable for teen readers and so some of hte more adult reworkings would not be included, or those for much younger audiences either) for the following tales:
Beauty and the Beast (already on site, I know) * Your site Url provided in text
Jack and the Beanstalk/Giant Killer (also there) * Your site URL provided in text
Tam Lin and Thomas the Rhymer (so many delicious reworkings out there!)
Andersen's Snow Queen, The Princess and the Pea and The Emperor's New Clothes
The Little Mermaid
The Wild Swans -- including Jane's suggestions above
Hope it will be helpful to you. Gail

Re: tales
Gail:
No, I haven't received the book yet. I e-mailed your publisher as you suggested but never received a reply. Happy to hear that my site made it into your book though. Thanks!
Carrie:
Willing and capable hands are always a blessing. Just let me know what interests you the most and feel free to do some of the legwork, too. I will also e-mail you off list.
Thanks everyone for your help. My toughest challenge is finding classic illustrations at this point. I need the graphics to help give the site some nice imagery.

illustrations
Heidi,
I'll look through some of these books I just inherited and see if there are any illustrations for the tales in question. If there are, I'll scan them in for you. Did you get my email with the bibliography titles?

*classic* illustrations
Heidi,
A couple of books that have a wide variety of older illustrations (and some good source lists) are:
The Classic Fairy Tales, by Iona and Peter Opie
The Golden Age of Children's Book Illustration, by Richard Dalby
When We Were Young: two centuries of children's book illustration, by William Feaver
Thanks for your site! It is so very enjoyable.

Re: *classic* illustrations
Everyone thanks again,
I agree that those books are great, Tara. I even own two copies of the Opies book. One with the color illustrations and one in paperback with just black and white. Alas, I am not finding much in color to help me find color pictures to put in the corners of Goldilocks, Three Pigs, Donkeyskin and Gingerbread. I have enough in black and white for Donkeyskin, but the pages are looking rather drab with no color in them. I have plenty for Six Swans and Princess and the Pea.
Erzebet, anything you have and are willing to share, will be accepted with gratitude. I have been scanning images all week from newly acquired books. I just wish it were easier to identify some of the artists.
