The fairy tale is arguably one of the most important cultural and social influences on children''s lives. But until the first publication of Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children''s lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows in this classic work, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. How and why did certain authors try to influence children or social images of children? How were fairy tales shaped by the changes in European society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Zipes examines famous writers of fairy tales such as Charles Perrault, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and L.Frank Baum and considers the extraordinary impact of Walt Disney on the genre as a fairy tale filmmaker.

A long time ago, in the enchanted fairy tale world, there were fairies, evils, devils, and angels. Princess Charming, wicked snow queens and ice maidens, a girl as little as a thumb, and a mermaid from the forest and the hills of the identical fairy world. The classic and timeless novel, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, with their memorable characters, usual themes, fanciful humor, wisdom, and morals, have been enjoyed by adults and children alike. The tales have been transformed into more than one hundred languages and have undergone diverse alterations over the decades. Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are like splendid jewels, eliciting from us gasps of gratitude and delight. Writing at the core of a Europe-wide revival of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his fairy tales in two significant ways. He primarily gathered them in the indigenous language, mimicking the language he used to teach them to children loudly. Second, he determined his tales in his own time and land, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish country. In contrast to such sociologists, as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson's tales are premised on reality and often concentrate on the importance of overlooked or small things.

The folklore of Scotland has gripped the imagination for centuries, with its stories of sublime creatures, high adventures and uncanny spirits of all kinds. The human and fairy realms of Scotland's mythical heritage blur seamlessly together: knights and clan leaders clash swords in the same lands where brownies and bogles romp; and simple farmers and fishermen frequently cross paths with the enchanting and formidable 'fair folk' of both land and sea. Long has been the exchange of culture between Scotland and Ireland, leading to some familiar characters cropping up in both countries' mythologies.Nonetheless, Scotland's folklore adds its own flavour to the telling of some well-known Gaelic tales, as well as a variety of stories that are uniquely Scottish. From legends of siege, chivalry and courage like 'Conall Cra Bhuidhe' and 'Black Agnes', to whimsical yarns such as 'The Fairies of Merlin's Crag'; from the frightening stories of 'The Haunted Ships' and 'The Ghosts of Craig-Aulnaic', to tales of animals such as 'The Brown Bear of the Green Glen' - this gorgeous collection of folk and fairy tales captures the essence of Scotland's ancient and vibrant folkloric tradition.
