Literature: history & criticism

Paperback. Fairy tales, often said to be "timeless" and fundamentally "oral," have a long written history. This book argues that however a vital part of this history has fallen by the wayside. It refocuses the lens through which we look at fairy tales. It examines the evolution of the "Anglo-American" fairy tale and its place in this variegated history.
