Great information regarding understanding fairy tales
1 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book was received in excellent condition. The content of the book also was excellent. The history of fairy tales is an important stage of our development as a complex governmental unit. Zipes is an academic of the highest order.
