Book Description
The Fairy Tale World is a definitive volume on this ever-evolving field. The book draws on recent critical attention, contesting romantic ideas about timeless tales of good and evil, and arguing that fairy tales are culturally astute narratives that reflect the historical and material circumstances of the societies in which they are produced. The Fairy Tale World takes a uniquely global perspective and broadens the international, cultural, and critical scope of fairy-tale studies. Throughout the five parts, the volume challenges the previously Eurocentric focus of fairy-tale studies, with contributors looking at: • the contrast between traditional, canonical fairy tales and more modern reinterpretations; • responses to the fairy tale around the world, including works from every continent; • applications of the fairy tale in diverse media, from oral tradition to the commercialized films of Hollywood and Bollywood; • debates concerning the global and local ownership of fairy tales, and the impact the digital age and an exponentially globalized world have on traditional narratives; • the fairy tale as told through art, dance, theatre, fan fiction, and film. This volume brings together a selection of the most respected voices in the field, offering ground-breaking analysis of the fairy tale in relation to ethnicity, colonialism, feminism, disability, sexuality, the environment, and class. An indispensable resource for students and scholars alike, The Fairy Tale World seeks to discover how such a traditional area of literature has remained so enduringly relevant in the modern world.

Book Description
.0000000000Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children. He gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales - with an anarchic twist - but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination. The thirty stories here range from exuberant early works such as 'The Tinderbox' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes' through poignant masterpieces such as 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Little Match Girl' and 'The Ugly Duckling', to more subversive later tales such as 'The Ice Maiden' and 'The Dryad'.This is the classic translation by Jean Hersholt. Illustrated by various artists, with an Afterword by Ned Halley.

Book Description
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Aladdin, Sinbad, the Little Mermaid, Tom Thumb, Thumbelina, the Frog-Prince, the Three Bears, the Three Little Pigs, and the Ugly Duckling. Fairy tales are among the first stories most children hear. They are almost universal, originating from countries all over the world, passed down from generation to generation. The have been collected by such famous names as The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, and Andrew Lang. Many have been updated over the years, and others even adapted into films. All the editions in this compilation are as they were originally presented. Over the years, many of them have changed. For example, Goldilocks never actually met the three bears. In some versions of Little Red Riding Hood, the hero dies, while in others, she lives happily ever after. We have endeavored to include those versions that are dramatically different in this volume, as well as those written in both verse and prose. Most of you will discover that these are not the Disney versions of familiar stories, nor are they necessarily politically correct. These are the original versions, in their entirety, dating back to the 1600s, and some of the spellings, words, and concepts might seem a bit dated. We feel that they are all tales worth telling, retelling, and passing on to future generations. We couldn't include all of them, and if your favorite is not in this book, perhaps it will appear in another volume. So, without further ado, we proudly present, the greatest fairy tales the world has ever told.
