Book Description
“Rapunzel” and “Cinderella” have both been imagined as movies with happy endings and positive morals. However, both stories began as haunting fairy tales long ago. In “Rushen Coatie,” a similar story to “Cinderella,” the wicked stepsisters don’t just end up without the prince, their toes are cut off! And Rapunzel’s witch? She sends Rapunzel to live in the desert! Though old, these tales will enthrall readers familiar with happier fairy tales and stimulate their imaginations with full-color images and illustrations. Other dark fairy tales from around the world, including "The Dragon of the North" and "The Demon with the Matted Hair," introduce readers to new tales of terror and woe.

The Tar Baby
Author: Bryan Wagner
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691196915
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Perhaps the best-known version of the tar baby story was published in 1880 by Joel Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings, and popularized in Song of the South, the 1946 Disney movie. Other versions of the story, however, have surfaced in many other places throughout the world, including Nigeria, Brazil, Corsica, Jamaica, India, and the Philippines. The Tar Baby offers a fresh analysis of this deceptively simple story about a fox, a rabbit, and a doll made of tar and turpentine, tracing its history and its connections to slavery, colonialism, and global trade.
