Filled with gothic and fantastical elements like monsters, dragons, evil step-parents and fairy godmothers, fairy tales remain important tools for teaching children about themselves, and the dangers and joys of the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this collection of new essays, literary scholars examine gothic elements in more recent entries into the fairy tale genre--for instance, David Almond's \u003ci\u003eSkellig\u003c\/i\u003e, Neil Gaiman's \u003ci\u003eThe Graveyard Book\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCoraline\u003c\/i\u003e and Lemony Snicket's \u003ci\u003eA Series of Unfortunate Events\u003c\/i\u003e--exploring such themes as surviving incest, and the capture and consumption of children. Although children's literature has seen an increase in reality-based stories that allow children no room for escape from their everyday lives, these essays demonstrate the continuing importance of fairy tales in helping them live well-rounded lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Abbruscato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786479353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786479351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Joseph Abbruscato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059693252863,"sku":"9780786479351","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f6bfb9d-44d6-41fa-9424-e2f7f8018d7d.jpg?v=1685059769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gothic-fairy-tale-in-young-joseph-abbruscato-9780786479351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
