However, by the 1880s, the genre had been largely misremembered and remained unread for a hundred years. It is, therefore, unsurprising that Mend s elected to draw his own imaginative raw materials from Shakespeare rather from than any original French sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even though his tales feature a different species of fays, Mend s' belated contributions to the genre have closer affinities with it than he may have suspected. He is a deliberately subversive writer, not only employing the narrative dynamic of his fantasies to insist that amour is far from perfect, but frequently applauding certain aspects of that imperfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume provides a useful illustration of a significant, if eccentric, phase in the history of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748272636192,"sku":"9781612278469","price":31.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/43de8fdd42e9eedd1ba3e1979caa666a.webp?v=1779907297","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-little-fays-in-the-air-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
