The Great Fairy Tale Tradition: From Straparola and Basile to the Brothers Grimm

The tales—116 in all—are thematically grouped. Each grouping is introduced and annotated by Jack Zipes, the genre’s reigning expert. Twenty illustrations accompany the texts.

Brief biographies of the storytellers and a Selected Bibliography are included.
