Requests:  0 Summary:  Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over her long writing career, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and Hans Andersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich collection of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. She makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 398.209 Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Warner Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Wa Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.209 Wa Lost 05/04/2018 Add Copy to MyList
