Byatt's Fairy Tale
Byatt’s enticing tales of a dark forest, monsters and two little girls creates a fantasy or fairy tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The fairy tale starts out with two little girls meeting on a train with other evacuees heading to an unknown place. Penny and Primrose, who became fast friends on the train reconnected later in their adult life. When they met again the two girls attached themselves to each other just like the time they met on the train. The children were told to play until lunch, Penny and Primrose decided to search the forest next to the building they stayed in until they would be placed into new families.

They both were sent on a train with other children. They both hoped to be adopted out to the same family. Makes me wonder why they would think they wanted adopted when they both had families still alive. Makes me think that maybe the two girls don’t think they have a home anymore since they were sent away from their home.
Penny and Primrose had the same fears about of being teased and going to the bathroom at night. While they were in the forest, they both could smell the creature and felt the fear from the creature. Both little girls heard the same sounds the monster made throughout the forest.
Before the two girls entered the forest, they encountered a small child, a little girl named Alys. The narrator describes this little girl; she was extraordinarily pretty, pink and white, with large pale-blue eyes, and sparse little golden curls all over her head and neck. (Byatt 305). Aly’s tries to go with the two older girls several times. Did Byatt use Aly’s as something that is good even in war time? The two girls told Aly’s she would get lost; the author states Aly’s has an engaging smile, made for loving parents and grandparents (Byatt 305). Byatt might lead you to believe that the two girls Penny and Primrose are not as innocent as this small little girl named
