My own review is also on the product page. I gave away a copy of this book earlier this year thanks to receiving two from the publisher:
No mere escapist fantasies, the reimagined fairy tales of the late 20th-early 21st centuries reflect the social, political, and cultural truths of our age with insight, intelligence, and complexity. Sixteen essays consider fairy tales recreated through short stories, novels, poetry, and the graphic novel from both best-selling and lesser-known writers, applying a variety of theoretical perspectives, including postmodernism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, feminism, structuralism, queer theory, and gender studies.
To conclude, here's the paperback link
if you are interested in that instead although it is regular price.
I love this book and have it available to students! Highly recommended for scholars and people who are fairy tale fans.
