From the Forest: A Search for the Hidden Roots of Our Fairytales by Sara Maitland
1.0
Sara Maitland can write beautifully about nature. Some of the passages in this book describing trees are wonderful.
However, it is not really about the sub-title. And quite frankly, just read Zipes who Maitland draws heavily on. Most of her "facts" are guesses and sometimes she is just plain wrong. I'm sorry but there are books out there about the forest in the fairy tale besides this one.
