This updated and expanded second edition includes a new preface and an appendix containing new translations of six tales, along with commentary by Maria Tatar.

She presents new interpretations of the powerful stories in this book. Few studies have been written in English on these tales, and none has probed their allegedly happy endings so thoroughly."--BOOK JACKET.
