These are ten tales, much neglected. Editor of \u003ci\u003eEnchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, Kate Wolford, introduces and annotates each tale in a manner that won't leave novices of fairy tale studies lost in the woods to grandmother's house, yet with a depth of research and a delight in posing intriguing puzzles that will cause folklorists and savvy readers to find this collection a delicious new delicacy. Beyond the Glass Slipper is about more than just reading fairy tales-it's about connecting to them. It's about thinking of the fairy tale as a precursor to \u003ci\u003eSaturday Night Live\u003c\/i\u003e as much as it is to any princess-movie franchise: the tales within these pages abound with outrageous spectacle and absurdist vignettes, ripe with humor that pokes fun at ourselves and our society. Never stuffy or pedantic, Kate Wolford proves she's the college professor you always wish you had: smart, nurturing, and plugged into pop culture. Wolford invites us into a discussion of how these tales fit into our modern cinematic lives and connect the larger body of fairy tales, then asks-no, \u003ci\u003einsists\u003c\/i\u003e-that we create our own theories and connections. A thinking man's first step into an ocean of little known folklore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Wolford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Weaver Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615797359\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Weaver Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40113757782131,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_115c0a9e-25c8-434e-9d08-ebe51e480d77.jpg?v=1653488479","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/beyond-the-glass-slipper-ten-neglected-fairy-tales-to-fall-in-love-with-9780615797359","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
