Children can always be initiated into the reaing world with the help of fairy tales. Even non-readers are well aware of fairy tales and their characters. This is noteable by the number of films made which were inspired from fairy tales. But with time, this genre lost favour among writers as they preferred to explore realistic and true to life themes. In the story, “Primrose’s Curse: A Fairy Tale of an Audacious Girl”, the author, Kiara Shankar has made a remarkable attempt to rekindle the fairy tale genre of writing and to a large extend is even successful.
The story follows the unsaid conventions of a fairy tale where humans and animals live in harmony and a young girl who is having the determination to fight anything that comes in her way for the well being of others. The story does successfully deliver good morals and it can be read and enjoyed by kids and adults. If there could be moe such stories then no wonder, children’s literature would also be enriched time to time.
