Tatterhood and Other Tales by Ethel Johnston Phelps

4.0

---

Full of all the folk tales Disney won't adapt to film, each story included features an intelligent, active female heroine. While some certainly end in the happily-ever-after marriage, that is definitely not the point of any of these stories -- none of the girls just sit around waiting to be saved.

A beautifully edited collection of unique "feminist" folk/fairy tales from all over the world.
