bookthief1788's review against another edition
4.0
I have been a fan of Maria Tatar for awhile now and was excited when this book came out. Appreciated her introduction that gives a lot of insight into the ATU709 folklore category. I think it is well suited for people of varying levels of fairytale/folklore knowledge. Reading variations of Snow White from around the world was fascinating as well as the introductions to where the written stories came to being. The story of Snow White or any fairytale has more complexities beneath the surface.
