Alfred David and Mary Elizabeth Meek have compiled a collection
of fairy tales that ranges from the Grimm brothers' inimitable
recreations of archetypal folktales to the modern prose charm of
James Thurber's Many Moons. The appeal of the stories is wide and
varied: the refined intelligence of Perrault, the wondrous
imagination of Andersen, the descriptive power of Ruskin, the
bittersweet melancholy of Wilde. These are but a few of the artists
represented in this remarkably inclusive selection of works from
Germany, Russia, France, Scandinavia, England, and America. Many
are in new translations in the modern idiom and all testify
eloquently to the unceasing vitality of this literary genre.
