Welcome to Litsy!

Book mail is the best mail! And finding a pristine HC copy of one of Maria Tatar‘s annotated books on Abe for $7 makes it even better. I don‘t buy a lot of physical books these days - too hard to hold and the font size, for some reason, won‘t get any bigger no matter how many times I stab the book with my index finger - but I will always buy an annotated Tatar. 🩷💛🩷

Confession: i did not read the essays at the end - I wasn't interested at this time.

It's a lovely collection of fairy tales and the introductions are terribly interesting. A definite worthwhile read

from Basile's The Young Slave (a version of Snow White)

Book for my next class 🤗👌💕

This a great collection with some really insightful notes. Highly recommended to any fairy tale aficionado. A must for any serious scholar. #fairytale #mariatatar

Getting ready for bed but wanted to share. I love ❤️ fairytale retellings. This is so exciting 📖🦊🐇

#fairytales #americanfolklore #mythsandlegends This book is beautifully illustrated, with depictions of characters spanning over 100 years, illustrations showing different interpretations. I've had this for over 10 years and love going through it at this time of year also great is The Penguin Dictionary of American Folklore 📚❤️
