Fairy tales and folklore are often concerned with power and justice, which is to say most of these traditional stories are political to some degree. But some are even more overt than others, as folklore expert Jack Zipes has collected here in his book of political fairy tales. (Also available: socialist fairy tales compiled by Michael Rosen.) Come get a book signed from 3-5 today! (12/8) #fairytales #folktales #folklore #holidaysignings #authorevents #giftideas #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiebookstore #bookstore #bookstagram
