Frank Baum or Hermann Hesse, Zipes shows how the authors of our beloved fairy tales used the genre to articulate personal desires, political views, and aesthetic preferences within particular social contexts. Above all, he demonstrates the role that the fairy tale has assumed in the civilizing process-the way it imparts values, norms, and aesthetic taste to children and adults.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition of one of Jack Zipes's best-loved books includes a new preface and two new chapters on J.M.
