Sneak Peeks and editorial help
Hello all,
Here is a sneak peak of the pages I have been working on. I really need help checking my list of modern interpretations. The rest of the areas for these tales are not ready, but please look over the lists on the following links and see if I have made any glaring omissions.
Note: Only the "Modern Interpretations" pages for these tales are 'finished.' You can go to some of the other links, but they are not complete and do not require editorial assistance quite yet.
Donkeyskin
Six Swans
Princess and the Pea
Goldilocks and the Three
Bears
Also, I finally changed and updated the Jack and the Beanstalk area from the old, old design. The modern interpretations there also need to be checked. Please feel free to check these, too!
Jack and the Beanstalk
Thanks,
Heidi

Re: Sneak Peeks and editorial help
Heidi: There was a really dark version of Goldilocks by Barry Malzberg and Kathe Koja that Ellen Datlow published in the horror half of one of the Year's Best volumes. I'll find the reference for you. Did I ever giveyou a list of all the fairy tale material in the various Year's Best books?

Also wondered if you knew my B &the B short story, ""The Gift of the Magicians With Apologies to You Know Who."

Princess and the Pea
Not having seen the show, of course I'm not sure, but isn't Once Upon a Mattress a stage show based on P & P?

Yes it is.
It is amusing, charming, and unassuming.

Beauty and the Beast and Mattress
Jane,
No, I didn't know about that story. Where is it in print so I can add it? And look for it to read!
Laura,
I haven't ever seen "Once Upon a Mattress" but I am adding it to the Princess and the Pea pages. I have the graphics for it, just not the citation. Thanks for the reminder!

Jack and the Beanstalk
I'm not sure if you'll want to add this to your Jack and the Beanstalk page, or not, but there's a jazz musician, Wayne Shorter, who composed some pieces he said were inspired by folklore and legend, and one of them is called Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum. You can probably find the cd on Amazon--it's called "Speak No Evil."

Re: Sneak Peeks and editorial help
Were you looking for examples of other modern interpretations other than the ones you have listed?

Re: Sneak Peeks and editorial help
Yes, I am always looking for modern interpretations for any of the tales on my site or other ones since I plan to add more tales in the future and am keeping a notebook now.
And the jazz musician information is perfect. My music knowledge is very limited in the scheme of things.
Please share!
Thanks,
Heidi

Re: Sneak Peeks and editorial help
Well, to be totally self-serving, there's:
Fairy Tales:
"Thy Golden Stair" in Twice Upon a Time (The DAW Books anthology) (Rapunzel)
"The Ogre's Wife," Sf Age, November 1995 (Beauty and the Beast)
Myths and Legends:
"The Right Sort of Flea," Realms of Fantasy, April 1997 (Beowulf)
"The Trickster's Wife," Realms of Fantasy, Feb. 2001 (Sigyn and Loki)
"Kallisti," Realms of Fantasy (Sched. April 2002), (The Judgment of Paris)

Not self-serving!
I only knew about "Thy Golden Stair" which I do have listed on Rapunzel--she sighs with relief.
The other stories had escaped my attention, so far. Short stories can be elusive buggers.
Thanks for the heads up!

My fairy tales
It suddenly occurred to me, after sending that, that Gift of the Magiicians is also in my SISTER EMILY'S LIGHTSHIP (Tor) and then I thought--most of the stories in that are fairy tale related.
The Traveler and the Tale--uses "Dinner in an Eggshell" English fairy story
Snow in Summer--is Snow White--Applachian style
Thirteenth Fey is Sleeping Beauty
Granny Rumple is Rumplestiltskin
Sleep of Tress is about Diana the Hunter
Sister Death is the Lilith story
Belle Bloody Merciless Dame is the poem Belle Dame Sans Merci but also any Poison Damsel/
Serpent Wife story
Under the Hill is a leprachaun meets Damon Runyan mob story
Godmother Death is the Godfather Death story
Alleleriauh is the incest variant of Cinderella, Donkeyskin
Sun/Flight is Icarus
Dick W and His @#%$; or Tess and Her Adequate Dick is Dick Whittington of course
Lost Girls is Peter Pan
The rest are fantasy stories but not attached to any specific fairy tale.

Dahl's Revloting Rhymes
Roald Dahl has some fun "Revolting Rhyme" versions of Jack and the Beanstalk, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and others. I don't have a link for his work but I'm sure there's one out there. There is also an anthology of his work that has many of the poems in them.
Warmest wishes,
Nancy
