Spinning straw into gold : what fairy tales reveal… door Joan Gould

Joan Gould selects three or four fairy tales or myths and dissects them in each stage of a woman's life: maiden, matron, and crone. She uses the allegory found in each fairy tale and translates it into ways a modern woman might feel in today's world.

Otherborn door Joan Gould

This is an oddly memorable short novel. Two children are marooned on a Pacific Island, and taken in by the local "primitive" tribe. Slowly, they begin to realize that the inhabitants are not primitive, and definately not the usual run-of-the-mill humans. The story is gently told, with no violence and only one storm. But it stays with me, and I have a curious sense of unsettled-ness. I'm going to have to read it again.
