In 1964 the first Indigenous author and artist to do so produced a collection of traditional stories reflective of Indigenous knowledge, teaching, and learning practices. Political advances achieved by Indigenous people during the twentieth century continue to address the imbalance heavily weighted to depictions of Indigenous cultures in children’s books by non-Indigenous producers. I contrast the colonial retelling of Australian Legendary Tales by Kate Langloh Parker with The Legends of Moonie Jarl by Butchulla author and artist Wilf Reeves and Olga Miller to show how transformative an active Indigenous voice is for the Australian literary landscape.","PeriodicalId":42276,"journal":{"name":"Marvels & Tales-Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies","volume":"3 1","pages":"11 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75639573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article argues that the character Finn Blacklin marries European fairy lore of violent and monstrous faeries with Australian traditions of “larrikin faeries.” Through the violence associated with the Seelie Courts, and his fear of being othered or deemed feminine as a changeling faerie, Finn perpetuates hegemonic masculinity. As a modern iteration of the “larrikin” faerie, Finn reinscribes overindulgence and misogyny as standard in Australian boyhood.

They are very short, only two or three pages not including the illustrations, in the clean, spare, elegant language of a poet—I was not surprised to learn that Colasanti writes poetry as well. However, we must include the illustrations, because they are by the author herself, using a technique that resembles woodcut printing. After “The One and Only,” we see a girl’s face reflected in the fragments of a mirror—the mirror that the princess broke so she could have more friends, each one a reflection of herself. In the middle of “Among the Leaves so Green O,” we see the prince and his men out hunting for the doe princess who will eventually elude him when she decides that she would rather be a doe than a queen. In her afterword, translator Adria Frizzi points out that Colasanti trained in visual arts before turning to literature and journalism, and the stories themselves are filled with strong images. Reading them is like walking through a gallery of paintings by Remedios Varo or shuffling a deck of beautiful, enigmatic Tarot cards. Colasanti writes that her interest is in “that timeless thing called the unconscious,” and there is a sense in which her stories resemble dreams (1). However, they are also very much about our waking reality. A True Blue Idea offers two significant pleasures. The first is of course Colasanti’s storytelling. The second is Frizzi’s afterword, in which she discusses Colasanti’s place in Brazilian literature and connects her fairy tales to their political and cultural context. Subtly and subtextually, these tales comment on issues of gender and power. Frizzi points out that A True Blue Idea was originally published “around the time when Brazil was beginning to emerge from an extended period of repression with abertura, the ‘opening’ to democratization initiated by the government of General Figuereido,” whose presidency ended the military regime, and that Colasanti has been committed to women’s issues since she began publishing in the 1960s (55). As Frizzi writes, “the association between fairy tales, fantasy, myth, and discourses of subversion is well known” (55). That link is certainly evident in Colasanti’s lovely, surreal tales. I was astonished to read that it took fifteen years for this translation to find a home. Thanks are due to Wayne State University Press for bringing it to us.

Copyright © 2022 by Wayne State University Press, Detroit, MI 48201. What makes an “Australian” fairy tale? Does this designation refer to marvelous narratives with a distinctly Australian bush setting? Or to fiction by Australian authors that is set in a European “once upon a time”? Is such a categorization as the Australian fairy tale even possible? Maurice Saxby once referred to early Australian examples of the genre as “so-called fairy tales,” dismissive of their limited connection with folk traditions (46). However, the literary fairy tale is not always derived from European, or folk, tradition. Moreover, recent attention to decolonizing fairy-tale studies and the fairy-tale canon has emphasized “the specifics of distinct cultures” and has called for resistance to “the twin urges to universalize traditional narratives at the expense of their specific historical and sociocultural contexts and to generalize the European fairy tale as an ahistorical global genre” (Haase 29). While British settlers made attempts to replicate European tale tradition in Australian settings, the fairy tales they produced could never precisely mirror those that evolved through centuries of oral and literary telling. In recent decades this uniqueness—once perceived as a failing—has become a strength of Australian fairy-tale texts. In this special issue, literary scholars and creative writing practitioners examine the way the genre was transplanted to take root in Australia through the process of white settler colonialism and how it has developed to take on its own inflections and possibilities as it has been adopted and adapted by a diverse range of writers, artists, and filmmakers. Reflecting a tendency in the field to center European traditions (Bacchilega 38), there has been surprisingly little scholarly attention devoted to Australian fairy tales until comparatively recently.
