At the Relton Arms written by Evelyn Sharp. Published by ROBERTS BROS in 1895. Copyright, 1895, by ROBERTS BROTHERS. Evelyn Sharp was English writer and suffragette, who joined the famous Yellow Book staff in 1895 and began publishing stories, articles, novels, and books for children. As a pacifist and feminist, she became deeply committed to doing relief work in Germany after World War I, and her concern in the welfare of children led her to writing The London Child (1927) and The Child Grows Up (1929), two studies of working-class life, and The African Child (1931), which deals with social conditions in Africa. Her fairy-tale books for children, Wymps and Other Fairy Tales (1897), All the Way to Fairyland (1898), The Other Side of the Sun (1900), Round the World to Wympland (1902), were written early in her career and were not as explicitly political as her other writings

ALL THE WAY TO FAIRYLAND - 8 illustrated stories. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Sharp   -  Abela Publishing, 2018  - 

This volume from Evelyn Sharp is a rare gem. Each story is delightful and each has an equally delightful illustration. Read your children a new one each night, and you will find they are the perfect stories to get them to drift off to sleep with pleasant, fairy-filled dreams. The stories in this volume are: I. The Country Called Nonamia II. Why The Wymps Cried III. The Story Of Honey And Sunny IV. The Little Princess And The Poet V. The Wonderful Toymaker VI. The Professor Of Practical Jokes VII. The Doll That Came Straight From Fairyland VIII. Those Wymps Again! Evelyn Sharp was as dedicated as an author as she was an historical figure, and she deserves a larger modern readership. Sharp, and maybe Dickens, were the only authors included disabilities in their writings. This, accompanied by her strong, concise storytelling (the perfect length for little minds and easily-distracted adults) and her radical life story make her one of my favorite figures from the period. Sharp was a dedicated feminist during the suffragette era and refused to pay her taxes. All her belongings, including her type-writer were seized and sold to pay off her debts. 10% of the publisher’s profit will be donated to Charities. ------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: All the way to fairyland, folklore, fairy tales, myths, legends, childrens stories, tales, fables, Country, crying Wymps.  Honey And Sunny, hunny, Poet, Professor, Practical Joke,  Doll, From Fairyland, , balloon, beautiful, Bobolink, boy, Capricious, Captious, castle, charming, children, cloud, conversation, cross, cry, dragon, Emmelina, Fairy, Fairyland, garden, Girl, Goblin, godmother, grasshopper, Grumbelo, happy, Honey, joke, King, kingdom, Lady, laughter, little Princess, magician, Majesty, Martin, Minister, Molly, Nonamia, nursery, odd, old, palace, Pansy, people, Perfection, Petulant, pine, pink, Poet, Prime Minister, Prince, Prince Charming, Professor, purple, Queen, real, rose, royal, silent, Skilful, song, steamboat, Strange, stream, sun, Sunny, throne, Toymaker, traveller, Whimsical, weird, Wilful, Wisdom, wonderful, wymp, Wympland, Zigzag

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SUN - 8 illustrated original fairy stories: 8 Illustrated Children's Stories from the Other Side of the Sun. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Sharp   -  Abela Publishing, 2018  - 

Herein are 8 illustrated fairy stories for children. The stories in this 2nd volume by Evelyn Sharp are original stories not retellings of fairy stories from the mists of time like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty etc. They are: The Weird Witch Of The Willow-Herb            The Magician's Tea-Party The Hundredth Princess Somebody Else's Prince The Tears Of Princess Prunella The Palace On The Floor The Lady Daffodilia The Kite That Went To The Moon ABOUT THE AUTHOR Evelyn Jane Sharp (1869–1955) was a key figure in two major British women's suffrage societies, the militant Women's Social and Political Union and the United Suffragists and an established author. She helped found the United Suffragists and became editor of Votes for Women during the First World War. She was twice imprisoned and became a tax resister. An established author who had published in The Yellow Book, she was especially well known for her children's fiction, namely, All the Way to Fairyland (1898) and The Other Side of the Sun (1900). REVIEWS Miss Sharp has wit, wisdom, and imagination for her initial equipment, but she possesses also what is rarer far—the accent and the point of view. For instance, she would never introduce a bicycle into this old-fashioned country. She knows perfectly well that if there should be any occasion for hurry—which is rarely the case in Fairyland—naturally you take a rocking-horse.—The Academy, Literature Review, London. Far and away the best fairy tales are the old traditional stories of Cinderella; Jack and the Beanstalk, and others. To these we add the stories collected and told by Andrew Lang, Hans Andersen and the Brothers Grimm; and now room must be made in that select company for the tales of Evelyn Sharp.—The St. James' Gazette, London. 10% of the net sale will be donated to charities by the publisher. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, Sun, moon, Weird Witch, broom, cat, Willow Herb, Magician, Tea Party, Hundredth Princess, Prince, King, Queen, Tears, Princess Prunella, Palace On The Floor, castle, Lady Daffodilia, Daffodil, flowers, Kite, Went To The Moon, Evelyn, Sharp, night, ride,
