Jack Zipes aims to disprove conventional wisdom regarding the origins of the Grimm fairy tales, which holds that the Grimms collected their tales from the oral tradition of peasants. These tales are based on a great literary tradition. He argues that the Grimms took most of their tales from literary sources, rewriting them again and again.
The "Criticism" section includes seven important assessments of different aspects of the fairy tale tradition. The tales, 116 in all, are thematically grouped, and are accompanied by detailed introductions and annotations. Brief biographies of the storytellers and a selected bibliography are included.
