Some Day Your Witch Will ComeKay Stone

“Kay Stone is a scholar who has taken a heroine’s journey through the kingdom of traditional folkloris-tics. She has absorbed its rigorous understandings of wonder tales and their social contexts, but also felt the call of a more personal, subjective, creative voice. She is thus an important mediator between these oft-divergent worlds.”

—Joseph Sobol, director of the graduate program in storytelling at East Tennessee State University

Giambattista Basile’s The Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little OnesTranslated by Nancy L. Canepa Illustrated by Carmelo Lettere Foreword by Jack Zipes

Nancy Canepa’s splen-did translation captures all the narrative energy and stylistic élan of The Tale of Tales and ensures that this collection will finally receive the attention it deserves.”

Transgressive TalesQueering the GrimmsEdited by Kay Turner and Pauline Greenhill

“Gives us the fairy tale we suspected was there all along—perverse, sexy, and gynocentric. Not only do these dazzling readings reclaim the fairy tale as emphatically queer but, perhaps even more impor-tantly, they make an important argument for why queer studies scholars should rediscover the fairy tale’s versions of gender and sexuality as the stuff of magic and enchantment.”
