The Necklace of Princess Florimonde and Other Sories by Mary De Morgan (Premium e-Reader Edition) Book 2 of 3 ○ Victorian Literary Fairy Tale Collection • Children's Literature • Fantasy • Feminist Fiction • Short Story Anthology • All-Ages Literature
Where Enchantment Meets Chilling Dark FantasyLong before modern dark fantasy subgenres took over,
Mary De Morgan captivated late-Victorian readers by weaving fairy tales that carried a striking, psychological edge. The Necklace of Princess Florimonde moves past simple bedtime stories to offer complex, beautifully written allegories that examine the dangers of vanity, greed, and superficial beauty.
Beyond the haunting title track, readers are swept into an array of unforgettable narratives, including The Heart of Princess Joan and The Pedlar's Pack. In an era where fairy tale heroines were traditionally passive, De Morgan breaks the mold by placing clever, independent, and resilient young women right at the center of the action.
Brimming with atmospheric depth and creative brilliance, this collection stands as a monument to the lasting power of early fantasy.
