About this book
Reviews
“Zipes’s collection is a marvellous book, one which will appeal to both the general reader and those working on fairy tales or those researching the Weimar Republic or German intellectual life before the outbreak of the Second World War.” (Paul Quinn, Gramarye, Issue 17, 2020)
“This collection of thirty literary stories in the genre of fairy tales, assembled and translated by Jack Zipes, offers a good read to anyone who enjoys stories. … This collection of stories is enjoyable also because of the smooth translations. … The tales collected and presented in this volume are important for scholars of literature as well as of folktales, fairy tales, and fables. The volume is also meant for the simple pleasure of reading inspiring stories” (Sadhana Naithani, Journal of Folklore Research, April, 2019)
“Its creative wave of tales, some playful, some ironic, some wrenchingly utopian, speaks directly to the world we find ourselves in today.” (Jo Radner, Storytelling Magazine, 2018)
