Angela Carter

The very beginning of The Magic Toy Store traces the story of young Melanie as a developmental novel that combines realistic motivation with narrative mechanisms characteristic of fairy tales.

McClane's position at the beginning corresponds to that of a princess in a fairy tale. It is a position of complete security and privilege, but in conflict with the absence of her parents, who are often absent from home and strangely uninterested in their own children. Melanie's first transgression, which she seeks to mark her coming of age (when she puts on her mother's wedding dress and stains it with her own blood), coincides with the death of her parents and her expulsion from her beautiful, fairy-tale house with a garden to her uncle's dark and mysterious house in the London suburbs, inhabited by a violent, monstrous uncle. his mute wife and her two brothers... Angela Carter's prose summarizes and elaborates on a more general narrative need for the miraculous and the fantastic and is therefore particularly important not only within British literary production, but also in the most broadly understood cultural history. No British author has been more ingenious - as a novelist, but also as a critic - than Angela Carter. Angela Carter's world is strange, dangerous and beautiful
