About the book >.>.> In order to understand fairy tales, we must begin by exploring their origins in oral tradition. We need to realize to what extent these tales were initially created by storytellers and audiences through the ongoing and evolving process of oral transmission, a process that encourages both variation (as a product of the inspi- ration of storytellers and the contributions of audience members) and continuity (as a product of the inherited, traditional forms or structures of the stories). In particular, we need to identify the specific formal characteristics of fairy tales that differentiate them from other oral narratives, such as myths, legends, and folktales. In addition to familiarizing ourselves with the oral heritage of fairy tales, we need to survey the literary history of this genre. (LL). Seller Inventory # Batch-FM359-VG-8613
