"Like the heroines and heroes whose stories she has made available to us through her careful editing, translation, and annotation, Tatar has performed a worthy feat in bringing together in The Classic Fairy Tales an invaluable selection of texts, critical essays, and a select bibliography. Fittingly, the central message which underlies the anthology is one of hope." --AILBHE NIC GIOLLA CHOMHAILL, University of Limerick, on the Second Edition "[...] Tatar provides a selection of the most widely read and adapted traditional fairy tales, along with some of their modern revisionings, accompanied by a balanced critical overview of scholarship in the field. She has successfully attempted to keep up with the ever-changing, growing field of fairy tale scholarship." --TONI THIBODEAUX, Columbia State Community College, on the Second Edition
