4.9/5 (22754 ratings)

Description:Spells of Enchantment brings together the best literary fairy tales ever written, arranged to provide a sense of the history and evolution of this ancient genre. Focusing on the work of the most gifted writers of the great Western literary movements from classical times to the present. Jack Zipes's collection shows how some of literature's most creative minds have tried their hand at mixing the magic ingredients of the fairy tale--and how the genre has been marvelously transformed according to each writer's particular genius.Including more than sixty tales by such master practitioners of the art as Perrault, Voltaire, Goethe, Hoffmann, Hawthorne, Wilde, Yeats, Hesse, Thurber, Calvino, Philip K. Dick, Robert Coover, and Angela Carter, this authoritative, original, and unique volume is sure to bewitch readers of all ages.The Smile of the Sphinx • (1991) • short story by Ingeborg Bachmann (trans. of Das Lächeln der Sphinx? 1949)When the Clock Strikes • (1980) • short story by Tanith LeeThe Fisherman and His Soul • (1891) • novelette by Oscar WildeCinderella Continued, or the Rat and the Six Lizards • (1984) • short story by Guillaume Apollinaire (trans. of La suite de Cendrillon, ou Le rat et les six lézards 1919)Cupid and Psyche (excerpt) • [Cupid and Psyche] • (1951) • short fiction by Apuleius [as by Lucius Apuleius]The Merchant's Two Sons • (1932) • short story by Giambattista Basile (trans. of Lo mercanto 1634)xi • Introduction (Spells of The Wondrous Fairy Tales of Western Culture) • (1991) • essay by Jack Zipesxxx • A Note on the Texts and the Acknowledgments (Spells of The Wondrous Fairy Tales of Western Culture) • (1991) • essay by Jack Zipesxxxiv • Cupid and Psyche (The Golden Asse) • (1923) • interior artwork by Jean de Bosschère28 • Of Feminine Subtlety • (1824) • short story by unknown32 • The Pig Prince • (1894) • short story by Giovanni Francesco Straparola (trans. of Galeotto 1551) [as by Giovanni Straparola]37 • Night the The First Fable (The Nights of Straparola) • (1894) • interior artwork by Edward Robert Hughes [as by E.
