From the Beast to the Blonde

On Fairy Tales and Their Tellers

by Marina Warner

A cultural history of the European fairy tale that concentrates on the women imagined as its tellers, from sibyls and gossips to Mother Goose. Warner traces how the figure of the old female storyteller was both mocked and relied upon by the men who published the tales.
