Críticas:
"An enticing reexamination of cherished texts." -"Kirkus Reviews, December 1998 ..."Zipes writes with a keen sense of balance between the discourse of the academy and the passion of the reader, between the authority and the fan, and he sends us back to material we thought was familiar, and makes us see it differently." -"Locus, August 1999 "Jack Zipes...uncovers provocative new layers of meaning by viewing the collection and creation of now classic tales by the Brothers Grimm. Hans Christian Andersen and others through the lens of history." -"The New York Times00, 3/21/99 ..."a fascinating social history of the uses and abuses to which fairy tales have been put in the course of their transformation from tales told orally by adults to adults into written (and frequently homogenized) bedtime stories parents read to the children. Zipes persuasively argues that fairy tales keep alive our 'longing for a better world that can be created out of our dreams and actions'." -New York Times Book Review "Zipes has forged a career out of brilliant and subversive analyses of fairy tales....Intelligent and thoughtful fun, without deconstructing the land of Faerie into dust and ashes." -"Booklist, 01/01/99

Backed by scholarly research and cross-cultural references, the essays describe how a privileged, educated minority has used fairy tales to defend and maintain its status while incorporating and perpetuating the belief that the poor could triumph over the ruling class through cunning and moral integrity. Zipes's main thesis is that fairy tales are a dynamic mixture of upper- and lower-class values that at once reinforce a society's class structure and, with subtlety and humor, show the emperor's nakedness without upsetting the status quo."; Literary Studies Series; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 238 pages.
