Middle Grade Fantasy
Griswold & Christophe is “A New Fairy Tale.” It is part of
a new tradition in contemporary kid’s books that makes direct and
playful references to old legends, fairy tales, children’s rhymes and
folk tales. You can see this in other current authors like Tom Gault and his
“The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess.” Also with Jess
Hannigan’s book titled: “Spider in the Well.” In
“Griswold & Christophe” there are obvious references (some
made by the characters themselves) to Gilgamesh the Hero, The March of the
Toy Soldiers, Theseus in the Minotaur’s Labyrinth, Sleeping Beauty in
the Woods, Androcles and the Lion, Oedipus and the Sphinx, The Sword in the
Stone and The Adventures of Pinocchio.
