Résumé
Although most familiar fairy tales were documented by men, the author points out that it was women storytellers who passed down the "old wives' tales" and their morals. The cultural and historic roles of these storytellers are presented with a… feminist perspective. The book also examines recurrent themes and symbolism in familiar tales, such as the beast/man and the damsel with blond hair
