Fairy tales earn their keep, and Laura Kready proves it chapter by chapter. Her study weighs the worth of wonder stories in education, principles for choosing them, and the craft of telling them well. For parents, teachers, and storytellers who suspect that Cinderella is serious business. The case for magic, footnoted.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
