Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The companion volume to New Tales for Old (Libraries Unlimited, 1999) deals with reworkings of four folktales and five literary fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. In-depth treatments of "Beauty and the Beast," "Tam Lin," "Thomas the Rhymer," "Jack and the Beanstalk," and the five Andersen tales include a list of motifs, the tale type, and synopsis of the historical background of both the tale and its various avatars as a book folktale. A chronological listing of critical interpretations is followed by a discussion of reworkings of the tale in forms accessible to young adults (both print and online), and a comprehensive list of references. Classroom extensions tie the story under consideration to related literature as well as to life in general. Involvingly written, accessible, and well laid out, Tales, Then and Now offers high- school, college, and university instructors, as well as story tellers and librarians, a sound source of both information and inspiration.

Review
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.www.childrenslit.com
...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.Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies
