Exploring the intricate "fairy-tale web" of influences in contemporary adaptations, Cristina Bacchilega examines how modern fairy tales reflect and reshape societal values in the early twenty-first century. Focusing on literary and cinematic adaptations for both adults and young adults, she analyzes their diverse social projects and the interplay between various genres and media. The book also critiques the prevailing Euro-American literary fairy tale, highlighting its competition with folktales and other wonder genres within a broader political context.
