| Summary | "Up! Horsie!" by Clara de Chatelain is an original fairy tale written in the late 19th century. The book tells the story of Gilbert, a young peasant, who learns about a magical way to summon a horse using ragwort and the incantation "Up! Horsie!" The narrative draws readers into a whimsical world where enchantment and folly unfold. In the tale, Gilbert's eagerness to explore Elf-land leads him to a captivating lady who grants him the responsibility of tending sheep. Despite being enchanted by her beauty and music, Gilbert struggles to manage his flock, often losing them in the mists of illusion. As he falls deeper into the charm of Elf-land, he is tricked by a deceptive lady and a cunning shepherd, ultimately discovering the truth behind the enchanting world. With a blend of humor and moral lessons, the story explores themes of desire, desire for recognition, and the perils of being easily misled by appearances. Eventually, Gilbert learns a valuable lesson about reality versus illusion and the importance of wisdom over blind ambition. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
