Pickpick

This is a useful, relatively quick-reading resource for those delving deeper into fairy tales, their history, and most of all, their critical and popular reception. A bit dated (a couple of unnecessary references to Harry Potter, for instance) and I wish the author had spent more time on Les Conteuses of the 17th century and their use of the literary fairy tales as resistance, but I found a lot of useful context too!

2 Stars • Pamela Dean reimagines the Scottish ballad as a 1970s urban fantasy set at Blackstock College, Minnesota. Freshman Janet Carter navigates academic life, friendships, and romances with Classics majors tied to the mysterious Professor Medeous. Amid literary discussions and subtle supernatural hints, the novel builds slowly to a magical climax. Blending coming-of-age themes with lyrical prose. It really didn‘t hit the mark for me.
