Review
In this elegant study the scholar Elizabeth Wanning Harries gives their due to the counteuses--the 17th century French ladies . . . who entertained their salons with witty, sophisticated fantasies about imaginary princes and princesses. . . . Harries suggests, with culture today fragmented into myriad products and market niches, fairy tales may be our only universal point of reference, the only cultural language we speak in common.
(Amanda Heller The Boston Globe )
To read Harries's study is to have that all too rare experience of recognizing that this book needed to be written and is full of truths.
