Your Stage : Plays and Fairy Tales Published by Richard S. Bailey

Now on Amazon Window Pieces A Collection of Reflections and Points of View Window Pieces is a collection of nine short plays set behind and in front of windows. Alienation is probed from different angles as characters and audience are reflected in glistening black window panels providing unique points of view within a sophisticated, minimalist design concept. Windows protect us while making us vulnerable; they offer different views. They reflect and obscure the interior and exterior worlds. Gazing out expands perception while peering in narrows focus. The world outside a window can easily represent freedom while the inside hopelessly confines its occupants, just as the safe warmth inside the window proves to be unobtainable for those trapped in the harsh reality outside. Sinister noises emanate from within and threatening sounds intrude from without. Windows are barriers and portals, foreboding and inviting to those on either side. They connect us to and separate us from our world. Window Pieces offers monologues, two and three character scenes suitable for workshops and scene work.

Child's Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales I and II The “Child’s Book of Old Fashioned Fairy Tales I and II” offer the fairy tales of Mme. De Chatelain, a premier translator of Grimm and Anderson in Victorian England, who was well known for her eloquent use of language. These stories are meant to be read aloud and feature several stories in which girls save boys and princes from enchantments and evil doing. All the fairy tales are beautifully told with a challenging vocabulary. The books contain glossaries of old fashioned terms and phrases easily accessible at the back. All of the stories have been left intact to maintain their original flair and offer significant variations from the fairy tales as they are told today. The original Victorian illustrations are interspersed throughout both books. Volume I contains the fairy tales” Jack and the Beanstalk”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Little Maia”, “The Charmed Fawn”, “The Eleven Wild Swans”, “The Fair One with Golden Locks”, “The White Cat”, “The Nine Mountains”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Red Jacket; or, the Nose Tree”, and “The Elves of the Fairy Forest”. Volume II features the fairy tales, stories and rhymes “The Story of the Three Bears”, “Princess Rosetta”, “The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods”, “The Story of Bold Robin Hood”, “Little Goody Two Shoes”, the story of a little girl who grows to become the benefactor of her community, “Little Bo Peep”, “Old Mother Hubbard”, “The Death and Burial of Cock Robin”, with specific illustrations identifying bird species, “The Old Woman and Her Eggs”, “Old Mother Goose”, and “The House that Jack Built”, concluding with Mme. De Chatelain’s original fairy tale “Up! Horsie!”. Now available at Amazon.com Volume I http://www.amazon.com/Childs-Fashioned-Fairy-Bailey-Family/dp/1503057062...
