This four-genre, thematically-arranged collection groups together selections that retell the same story or events: three interpretations of Cinderella from Walt Disney, The Brothers Grimm, and a Chinese folktale, for example, or the myth of Oedipus as told by Sophocles, Rita Dove, Randall Jarrell, and Sigmund Freud. Retellings includes many frequently taught works of fiction, poetry, drama, and non-fiction, as well as visual texts, and offers a complete introduction to reading, interpreting, and writing about literature.

I ordered this book from bookbyte and it was for my english class. I was to receive this book up to 14 days later.... DID NOT HAPPEN! I got this book close to 1 month later. The book was in terrible condition. Not worth the money or the time!
