2007 Yuletide Recs - Part 2
I'm sorry, did I say three or four posts? I may have been overly optimistic. I'm not even through the Fs yet, Fairy Tales (trad) has defeated me by sheer numbers. Here are the rest of my recommendations to date:
Top Picks
Out of Narnia (CS Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia)
A short piece with excellent characterization for Lucy.
Not Gods, But Demons (CS Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia)
A well done background story for Jadis.
Bittersweet (CS Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia)
A nice glimpse of Edmund, after.
Small Things (Dorothy L Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey series)
A beatifully written story about Bredon Wimsey's first Christmas.
Scarce Any Man (Dorothy L Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey series)
A fabulous story centering on Harriet and her friends during her last days with Phillip Boyd.
Dancing in the Moonlight (Fairy Tales (trad))
The story of 'The Twelve Dancing Princess' from the perspective of the youngest. Well done and very sweet.
The Man in the Mirror (Fairy Tales (trad))
An excellent twist on a perennial favorite.
What the Pea Proved (Fairy Tales (trad))
An excellent reworking of traditional tales.
The Boy Without Fear (Fairy Tales (trad))
A beautifully crafted story with its roots in traditional tales but that is something all its own.
Radiant Fire, to Things Ephemeral (Fifth Element)
A brilliant look at Leeloo and how she identifies who she is and what she does.
