The Armless Maiden: And Other Tales for Childhood's Survivors by Terri Windling
Requirements: .PDF reader, 19 mb
Overview: Terri Windling is acknowledged as one of the most visionary figures in the field of fantasy. Five-time winner of the World Fantasy Award, editor and co-editor of more than a dozen major anthologies, creator of the acclaimed Fairy Tales series of adult novels, and author in her own right, Terri Windling has devoted her career to exploring the rich legacy of fantasy and folktales.

The Armless Maiden is Terri Winding's most ambitious anthology to date, an exploration of the ways that folktales and myth can empower and transform our lives, helping us triumph over the darker side of childhood - loss of loved ones, betrayal, oppression, and abuse.

Taking its name from one of the most haunting and powerful stories in the catalog of classic folktales, The Armless Maiden includes more than twenty-five extraordinary works of short fiction and poetry, as well as inspiring essays and personal reflections, by the finest authors of fantasy and magic realism writing today — including Peter Straub, Jane Yolen, Tanith Lee, Patricia A. McKillip, Charles de Lint, and Ellen Kushner. Some of the stories in the collection are traditional retellings of familiar fairy tales. Others draw upon the ancient wisdom in these stories to comment on contemporary themes.

At once an enjoyable and entertaining anthology of brilliant fantasy and a journey of self-exploration and healing in the tradition of Joseph Campbell, Bruno Bettelheim, and Robert Bly, The Armless Maiden is a major contribution to the literature of the fantastic.
