Books+I+Have+That+Might+Be+of+Use

Here are some of the books I have that might be of use to you:

Bettelheim, Bruno. __The Uses of Enchantment__. NY: Knopf, 1975.
 * Find this on our library cart. This is a seminal text on the interpretation of fairy tales. Very Freudian. Interesting chapters on H and G, Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella.

von Franz, Marie-Louise. __The Interpretation of Fairy Tales__. Boston: Shambhala, 1996. Might be a bit more scholarly and intense than you're looking for, but there is a good chapter on a method of psychological interpretation.

Zipes, Jack. __Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion__. NY: Routledge, 2006. Good chapters on "Perrault and the Subversive Role of Women Writers," The Brothers Grimm, and Disney. Actually, all good chapters. Worth a look.

Zipes, Jack. __Why Fairy Tales Stick__. NY: Routledge, 2006. Try especially chapters 2, 3, 4, and 6. [Freya, there's a good chapter on H and G.]
