| Summary | "Fairy Realm: A Collection of the Favourite Old Tales Told in Verse" by Tom Hood is a collection of beloved fairy tales presented in verse, likely written in the mid-19th century. This compilation features well-known stories such as "The Sleeping Beauty," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Puss in Boots," "Cinderella," and "Hop O' My Thumb," capturing the essence and charm of each tale through poetic narration. Hood’s verses aim to bring these classic stories to life while highlighting their timeless themes and characters. The opening of the collection begins with a preface by the author, detailing the inspiration behind the tales and the challenge of retelling stories that have been passed down through generations. After the preface, the first story, “The Sleeping Beauty,” unfolds a magical world where the princess, cursed to fall into an eternal sleep, awaits a prince to awaken her. The narrative is rich in detail, introducing vibrant characters, enchanting settings, and the gradual build-up to the main conflict, setting the tone for the whimsical, poetic retellings that follow throughout the rest of the collection.
