Summary
"The essays discuss Black cultural retellings of traditional, European fairy tales. The tales are rich and diverse in perspective, illuminating stories such as Aesop's fables, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Ananse. Stories from Black perspectives adhere to the dictates of traditional literary conventions while steeped in literary traditions that can be traced back to Africa or the diaspora"-- Provided by publisher.
