Publishers Weekly: "Zipes and his collaborators cull from fables, nursery rhymes, comics, poetry, plays, science fiction and fantasy, providing a lens through which the evolution of childhood itself can be viewed. The scope is expansive--the fairy tales hail from Grimm and Perrault, but also from Francesca Lia Block and Julius Lester...A mile wide and very deep, this is an invaluable resource for professionals, but fun for casual perusing, too." |
