All the Way to Fairyland by Evelyn Sharp

hrh_victoria's review

5.0

Evelyn Sharp is as fierce an author as she is a historical figure, and she deserves a larger modern readership. I've been studying disabilities in Victorian fairy tales and Sharp is the only author I've read who wrote about a disabled character who embraced her disability (see "The Little Princess and the Poet"). This, accompanied by her strong, concise storytelling (the perfect length for little minds and easily-distracted adults) and her radical life story make her one of my favorite figures from the period.
