They have argued that the tales found in the United States are watered-down derivatives of European fare. With this gathering, William Bernard McCarthy compiles evidence strongly to the contrary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCinderella in America: A Book of Folk and Fairy Tales\u003c\/i\u003e represents these tales as they have been told in the United States from Revolutionary days until the present. To capture this richness, tales are grouped in chapters that represent regional and ethnic groups, including Iberian, French, German, British, Irish, other European, African American, and Native American. These tales are drawn from published collections, journals, and archives, and from fieldwork by McCarthy and his colleagues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Created along the nationalist model of the Brothers Grimm yet as diverse in its voices and themes as the nation it represents, \u003ci\u003eCinderella in America\u003c\/i\u003e shows these tales truly merit the designation American.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Bernard McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1578069599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578069590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.36w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 1160","brand":"William Bernard McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985185276159,"sku":"9781578069590","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9b1b651-54d2-45b7-a9a2-7185848e4903.jpg?v=1683276058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinderella-in-america-william-bernard-mccarthy-9781578069590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
