Fairy Tale Companion

The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales, edited by Jack Zipes, Oxford University Press
The first authoritative reference source for the complex and captivating genre of the fairy tale. It provides full coverage of stories and characters from Ali Baba to Tom Thumb along with the writers who wrote and reworked them, such as Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll, J.R.R. Tolkien and Gabriel García Márquez, and the artists who illustrated them, including Quentin Blake, Raymond Briggs and Maurice Sendak. The Companion also examines related topics such as Disney, opera, science fiction, music and advertising. Special survey articles explore the development of the fairy-tale tradition in individual countries, focusing particularly on the European and North American traditions.
