Cinderella in America

Product Description

For years, many folklorists have denied the existence of a truly American folk or fairy tale, arguing that the tales found in the United States are merely diluted versions of European stories. However, William Bernard McCarthy’s Cinderella in America: A Book of Folk and Fairy Tales presents compelling evidence to the contrary. This collection showcases folk and fairy tales as they have been told in the United States from the Revolutionary era to the present, highlighting the unique and diverse storytelling traditions that have flourished in America.
