This is a wonderful collection.\"\u003cb\u003e--Alison Lurie, author of \u003ci\u003eDon't Tell the Grown-Ups: The Subversive Power of Children's Literature\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In this rich and wonderful anthology, Zipes makes a powerful case for the salience and enduring timelessness of the sorcerer tales, not only historically in light of the vastness of the variants that have come down to us but also because of the social, psychological, liberationist, and subversive relevance of the tales even today. This is a story whose 'story' needs to be told.\"\u003cb\u003e--Donald Beecher, Carleton University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Zipes's outstanding and important book presents a compelling look at the traditional tale 'The Magician and His Pupil, ' and the copious international, intercultural variations of this story. Readers will find trenchant insights and may be surprised to learn that a tale they thought they knew has much greater complexity than they imagined.\"\u003cb\u003e--Pauline Greenhill, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eFairy-Tale Films Beyond Disney\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45268592722071,"sku":"9780691172651","price":4668.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691172651.webp?v=1767105198","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-sorcerers-apprentice-an-anthology-of-magical-tales-9780691172651","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
