Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion by Jack Zipes
The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. This work shows that fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture.Winner of the 2007 Katharine Briggs Award
