  • This scholarly and accesible work is an exceedingly useful resource for young adult librarians and school library media specialists, for storytellers, and for teachers introducing the study of fairy tales into the classroom. It is recommended for all those interested in the study and research of fairy tales, including students from graduate to junior high and high school level.

  • ...I find this new volume a valuable supplement to the first. Both volumes will be useful to storytellers, librarians, researchers, and teachers in high schools, colleges, and universities. ...these annotated bibliographies make a solid contribution to the literary study of folktales. Studying them provides a pathway to a wealth of reading opportunities awaiting anyone who delights in such retold tales.

  • An excellent resource for research and classroom discussion...immensely readable.

  • Fascinating reading for anyone who loves and respects the old tales, and wants to delve further into them.

Description: Altmann and de Vos are back with more great ideas for exploring contemporary reworkings of classic folk and fairy tales that appeal to teen readers. If you loved New Tales for Old (Libraries Unlimited, 1999), this new work will be sure to please. Following the same format, each story includes tale type numbers, motifs, and lists of reworkings arranged by genre, and suggestions for classroom extensions. INSIDE: Beauty and the Beast, Jack and the Beanstalk, Tam Lin, Thomas the Rhymer, and five fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen.
