Reviews
"...[Zipes'] book does make us wonder whether we should be packing our children off to films that have more to do with mass merchandising than mystery and wonder." -- Teacher
"An incisive study of fairy tales, ofhow they have been shaped by our culture, and how in turn, our culture has been shaped by them. [Zipes] suggests that the shift from oral to literary traditions helped to institutionalize and commodify fairy tales, and that the film industry has driven this trend to extremes ... it would certainly trigger some stirring classroom debates." -- Christian Library Journal
