"Polly had fully intended to be very miserable, and cry herself to sleep; but when she lay down at last, her pillow seemed very soft... She no longer felt an injured, hard-working, unhappy Polly, but as if quite burdened with blessings."

Glad that this #BookWormSat is all about coming of age because it's an opportunity to present a book I found at home when I was 13 and reread every year for decades. A first edition? IDK. "One of BBC''s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World." No wonder it's also called "quirky", as have been I. #booksky

King’s hit novel IT is a fantastic depiction of trauma and fear in childhood, brought to life through a demonic entity known simply as IT. IT primarily appears as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and the novel takes place over two time periods:

Growing up, Hansel and Gretel, collected by the Grimm Brothers and published in 1812—is one of my favorite fairy tale. Siblings in the enchanted forest, finding a Gingerbread cottage & outsmarting a hungry witch. A story of courage and cleverness. #HanselandGretel

Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Red Shoes" (1845) is a dark fairy tale about vanity and temptation. A girl named Karen obsession with a beautiful red pair leads to cursed dancing and a tragic ending. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés notes that the vibrant red reflects life and sacrifice.

On the night of his birth, Pryderi was stolen from his cradle by some unseen beast, his mother falsely accused of infanticide.
Meanwhile, lord Teyrnon, losing livestock to a clawed creature, kept vigil in his stable. He drove off the monster, finding a newborn left on the threshold.

"Amazonian" women continually find ways to break taboos, defy opinion, survive the injury and wounds which follow, heal their hurt, and even withstand over decades the social and professional ostracism meted out to rebels and other non-conformists.

Growing up, Lyra in Philip Pullman’s "His Dark Materials" trilogy explored magical worlds filled with daemons, witches, and Arctic myths. Her journey, inspired by fairy tale motifs, shaped her view of storytelling and folklore. #HisDarkMaterials #TheGoldenCompass 🧭🐻❄️

A Heroine of the World (1989) by Tanith Lee. A girl with a fanciful, artistic mind faces horrors of war, occupation, and life in foreign societies. Set in a fictional world loosely based on northern and eastern Europe. Features the lyrical writing and mysticism that Lee did so well.

The rural coming-of-age novel often trades dragons for dirt roads, but the stakes feel just as epic. Leaving a family farm can be as heroic as slaying a monster. #BookWormSat

Fairy tales turn children into adults through ordeal. A walk into the woods. A night in a tower. A riddle unsolved. Growth is never gentle in old stories. #BookWormSat
