Challenging the notion that fairy tales can be read for their morals and used to make model citizens of little children, Tatar guides readers through the stories, exploring their historical origins, their cultural complexities, and their psychological effects. By providing children with powerful models for navigating reality, Tatar shows, these tales help children survive in a world ruled by adults. Tatar presents twenty-six classic stories&#151;including "Beauty and the Beast," "Little Red Hiding Hood," "Jack and the Beanstalk," and "The Little Mermaid." She has personally retranslated the stories that did not appear originally in English and has also assembled over 300 often rare, mostly four-color photographs, paintings, and illustrations, creating a volume that will rank as one of the finest fairy tale collections in many decades. 350 four-color illustrations. 118419 14 10 2002 The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales total:87|5:56|4:18|3:10|2:2|1:1| 87 387 178 13 5 0 false false Thu Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 30 06:32:40 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 16 06:44:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 14:01:53 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 14:15:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 08:16:56 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 10 08:18:15 -0800 2009 The Annotated Brothers Grimm and </i>The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen</i>, and many of the same fairy tales -- with the same or nearly the same annotations...more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Aug 13 15:31:04 -0700 2007 Thu Feb 14 20:40:26 -0800 2008
