In his latest book, fairy tales expert Jack Zipes explores the
question of why some fairy tales "work" and others don't, why the
fairy tale is uniquely capable of getting under the skin of culture
and staying there. Why, in other words, fairy tales "stick." Long
an advocate of the fairy tale as a serious genre with wide social
and cultural ramifications, Jack Zipes here makes his strongest
case for the idea of the fairy tale not just as a collection of
stories for children but a profoundly important genre.
Why Fairy Tales Stick contains two chapters on the history and
theory of the genre, followed by case studies of famous tales
(including Cinderella, Snow White, and Bluebeard), followed by a
summary chapter on the problematic nature of traditional
storytelling in the twenty-first century.
