desertcart.com: The Classic Fairy Tales: A Norton Critical Edition: 9780393602975: Tatar, Maria: Books Review: Good for Themed Comp and Lit Survey Courses on Fairytales - This is a good anthology to use for freshman/sophomore college students. I assign it as part of a themed composition course, but it would also work well for a literature survey type course on fairytales. There is a good variety, and stories are grouped by theme (tale or author, in a couple cases), so the organization is good as well as the content. I also like having the critical introductions to each group of fairytales. For my students, this really helps to serve as a foundation for their critical thinking and is a good platform to introduce the idea of using scholarly support in their writing. My students really enjoy using this text as well. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about classic fairytales and different retellings of them.

A Must-Have for Serious Readers of Fairy Tales
I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this purchase. A great collection of fairy tales with intelligent essays to accompany these tales. Just add to chart and buy. Period.

I've enjoyed very much the collaboration of Fairy Tales
Purchased this book for class, however, I've enjoyed very much the collaboration of Fairy Tales, and articles of interpretation.

it is very much a collector.
The collection of tales is extensive and original. I am quite pleased with the Book and know I will enjoy many pleasant hours of quality time in worlds far away and times gone by. These are stories that have been handed down from decades ago and have been mainstays in the world of Fictional Tales that have kept so many readers coming back year after year.

For Scholarly Research
I just thought I would say that the average reader who might buy this to read tales to their children should not choose it. The book is intended for scholars or for those who are interested in the origins of fairy tales. There are no images. It's excellent for research and study.

Came on time, good for folklore narrative classes
It’s the textbook I needed for my fairytales and folklore narrative class, but honestly just happens to be the assigned material. It’s a fun read on it own, but if you need it for a specific class it’s good and it came on time.

A good collection of fairy Tales for critical reading. Good for parents to read before they let their children watch any nonsense Disney.
