Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-07 00:00:00 Justin Morales An attentive and innovative contribution to georgic scholarship. A bit heavy on critical theory, but even that is well-explained. The last chapter deflates a bit, but the first three are more than worth it.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-08 00:00:00 Oliver Holtmeier With this academic study, Anderson provides a comprehensive and at times exhausting examination of fairytale antecedents in ancient (mostly Western) mythology. It's a thorough, well-researched study, with chapters focusing on specific fairy tales--like "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Little Red Riding Hood"--as well as general categories of tales. If this sounds like something you need for research purposes, you should definitely pick it up. It lacks the engaging prose style of some other fairytale academics, like Jack D. Zipes or Marina Warner, but while I won't be reading it cover-to-cover again, I'm keeping my copy in case I need it for research. It certainly seems like it opens up a lot of research potential for other academics to explore.
