Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 22 cm, ix, 214 pp. From the blurb: "One Fairy Story too Many unmasks one of the most successfully perpetuated literary frauds in centuries. When the brothers Grimm presented their now beloved fairy tales to the world, they claimed to have tapped an oral tradition of folk story - telling in Germany. Supposedly, the tales were written down as the Grimms heard them told by peasants and other simple, uneducated folk. But John Ellis argues in this book that the tales have little to do with German folklore - and that the brothers clearly knew it. Ellis shows that the Grimms deliberately made false claims for their tales and suppressed the evidence of their actual origin. In fact, their sources in many cases were not even German - the celebrated Marchenfrau of Niederzwehren was educated, middle-class, and French. Moreover the Grimms, while claiming to be utterly true to their sources, altered the tales radically before publication, changing their plots, characters, style, and moral tone, and continued to make revisions throughout the seven editions. Woven like a secondary plot through Ellis's account is the strange history surrounding the evidence that he uses. That the Grimms had committed a fraud should have been clear to Grimm scholars from easily available evidence years ago. But the irresistible fairy tale of the two brothers going among the simple folk, carefully gathering their tales, had so beguiled even the most knowledgeable that they could not face the reality that the brothers had deliberately deceived their public. German scholars, Ellis shows, were especially reluctant to question the authenticity of what had become a national monument. This book. then, seriously calls into question the long-held notion that the Grimms are the fathers of folklore research. One Fairy Story too Many is a provocative, highly readable account of the text and history of a work that has achieved enormous importance in Western culture. Quotations from German sources are given in both English and German, and sample texts of three famous tales - The Frog Prince. Sleeping Beauty, and Hansel and Gretel - are provided in their original form and as later versions reworked by the Grimms." Very Good.

From the blurb: "Chrétien de Troyes was France's greatest medieval poet - inventor of the genre of courtly romance and popularizer of the Arthurian legend. The forty-four surviving manuscripts of his work (ten of them illuminated) pose a number of questions about who used these books and in what way. In Sealed in Parchment, Sandra Hindman scrutinizes both text and images to reveal what the manuscripts can tell us about medieval society and politics. The manuscripts emerge from Hindman's analysis as evidence of two crises. First, the enormous popularity of Chrétiens knightly tales offers provocative commentary on the political crisis of the northern French aristocracy, which in the thirteenth century sought to redefine its role after the rise of a centralized monarchy under King Philip Augustus. Second, the well-worn illustrated manuscripts are tangible examples of an uneasy coexistence of oral and literate cultures, offering insights into a "crisis in reading" that occurred as; medieval society passed from a period of public performance to one of private, reading. Through its analysis of the texts, pictures, and the physical character of the illuminated manuscripts of Chrétien de Troyes, this book exposes a process of cultural change in medieval French society at the end of the thirteenth century."
