An Ignorant Witch


Book Description

Having super-natural power isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And now, it’s a death sentence. Dara Martin is a half-blood witch in a town ruled by the aristocratic Witch Kin. Shunned for her mixed blood, formal magical training is forever out of her reach. Even worse, any trace of magic-working from her will end in a painful binding of her powers. Her main goal is to keep her head down and survive, but everything changes with the new witch in town. Seth stirs up the ancient hatreds of the Kin, calling for a Purge to cleanse their world of the magic of the ‘impure’ half-bloods like Dara and her friends. Unable to escape the clutches of the Kin and unwilling to leave her friends to die, Dara’s only option is to fight back. Relying on her raw, untrained magic is the only way forward, and it won’t be enough to defeat the Kin. ​​​​​​​Fans of Harry Potter and Seanan McGuire will love the Witch Kin Chronicles!

In this, the first collection of essays to address the development of fairy tale film as a genre, Pauline Greenhill and Sidney Eve Matrix stress, "the mirror of fairy-tale film reflects not so much what its audience members actually are but how they see themselves and their potential to develop (or, likewise, to regress)." As Jack Zipes says further in the foreword, “Folk and fairy tales pervade our lives constantly through television soap operas and commercials, in comic books and cartoons, in school plays and storytelling performances, in our superstitions and prayers for miracles, and in our dreams and daydreams. The artistic re-creations of fairy-tale plots and characters in film—the parodies, the aesthetic experimentation, and the mixing of genres to engender new insights into art and life— mirror possibilities of estranging ourselves from designated roles, along with the conventional patterns of the classical tales.” Here, scholars from film, folklore, and cultural studies move discussion beyond the well-known Disney movies to the many other filmic adaptations of fairy tales and to the widespread use of fairy tale tropes, themes, and motifs in cinema.
