Cabinet des Fées proudly presents the fiction line-up for our first issue: here you'll find baubles and bling, rivers and roses, fools and fairies -- you'll encounter children who know too much and adults who don't know when to leave well enough alone. We give you cautionary tales, tales of revenge and of the things we'll do for love. You'll find re-imaginings of of the traditional tales as well as several new.
"The Fool's Doorway" by Sonya Taaffe
"Une Conte de Fée" by Lila Garrott
"The Music of Bremen Farm" by Mike Allen
"All for a Rose" by Donna Quattrone
"The River in Winter" by JoSelle Vanderhooft
"All My Mommies" by Virginia Mohlere
"Little Red" by K. Eason
"Owls" by Maria Beliaeva
"In the Woods" by Máire NicAodh
In addition, we give you "Child's Play," a quarterly column by Catherynne M. Valente who presents a recreation and analysis of the Child Ballads, one per issue. Our editorial for this first print issue is a condensed version of Helen Pilinovsky's "The Commodification of the Fairy Tale" and we close with "H.G. Wells in Fairyland," a look at H.G. Wells' surprising short story, "Mr. Skelmersdale in Fairyland."
