Book Writing Fairy Tale

More From Carol Ann Duffy

[fairy tales] are like a journey to the woods and the many ways you can get lost. some people say it's not a good idea to read fairy tales to anyone under the age of eight because they are brutal and raw. when i was a kid i often felt that kids's books were speaking down to me, but i never felt that way about fairy tales. they are bloody and scary, but so is life.
Book Kids Journey
I have very happy memories of fairy tales. my mother used to take me to the library in toronto to check out the fairy tales. and she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.
Mother Memories Character
I think almost everybody enjoyed fairy tales when they were young, tales of witches and ogres and monsters and dragons and so forth. you get a little bit older, you can't read fairy tales any more.
Thinking Dragons Littles
I wrote this story for you, but when i began it i had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. as a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. but some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. you can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. i shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but i shall still be your affectionate godfather, c. s. lewis.
Girl Book Reading
People have always told tales. long before humanity learned to write and gradually became literate, everybody told tales to everybody else and everybody listened to everybody else's tales. before long it became clear that some of the still illiterate storytellers told more and better tales than others, that is, they could make more people believe their lies.
Lying Believe Writing
Every kid loves fairy tales, stories of witches and giants and magicians. then, when you get a little older you can't read fairy tales anymore.

As a kid i was creative.
Kids Creative
If people work together, if they can keep a cooperative spirit and use their ingenuity and balance it all with good humor and good will, then there's nothing to be afraid of. that's the sappy part of it, ... on the other hand, every halloween for many years when my kids were trick-or-treating i would put on my 'ghostbusters' jumpsuit with a police flashlight to protect all the kids from ghosts.
Halloween Kids Hands
As a kid, i was a huge fan of movies and acting. my mom was in the sort of community theater, and i always hung around down there, and i was a massive fan of everything i'm kind of involved in now. but fairly ordinary and cheeky.

Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. you can’t be doing that all the time. sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness.
