This concise and accessible critical introduction examines the
world of popular fairy-tale television, tracing how fairy tales and
their social and cultural implications manifest within series,
television events, anthologies, and episodes, and as freestanding
motifs. Providing a model of televisual analysis, Rudy and
Greenhill emphasize that fairy-tale longevity in general, and
particularly on TV, results from malleability-morphing from
extremely complex narratives to the simple quotation of a name
(like Cinderella) or phrase (like "happily ever after")-as well as
its perennial value as a form that is good to think with. The
global reach and popularity of fairy tales is reflected in the
book's selection of diverse examples from genres such as political,
lifestyle, reality, and science fiction TV. With a select
mediagraphy, discussion questions, and detailed bibliography for
further study, this book is an ideal guide for students and
scholars of television studies, popular culture, and media studies,
as well as dedicated fairy-tale fans.
