From the Beast to the Blonde On Fairy Tales & Their Tellers History EXCELLENT
From the Beastvto the Blonde by Marina Warner. Hardcover with dust jacket. 1995. 463 pages. Everything is in line new condition. Warner traces the origins of storytelling back to oral traditions predominantly kept by women—such as grandmothers, nannies, and “gossips”—in shared domestic spaces like child-beds and kitchens. She explains how their voices were later adapted (and often sanitized or patriarchalized) when male writers like Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm wrote them down.
