‘The variety and diversity of the entries while all focused on furthering the understanding of the fairy tale is the strength of this collection. This book would be ideal for someone interested in the latest directions in fairy-tale research. It would also make an excellent text for an upper-level university course focused on a cross-cultural comparison of fairy tales. For scholars of fairy tales, this book is worth having on the shelf as a reference, as an inspiration for teaching and research, and as a way to enter the fairy-tale world.’ Mary Sellers, Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies
