What We're Reading: Tracy
Enchanted Hunters: the Power of Stories in Childhood, by Maria Tatar.
Maria Tatar is the John L. Loeb Professor of Germanic Studies at Harvard University and one of today's preeminent scholars of fairy tales. In this, her latest work, Tatar examines the roles stories play in children's lives, paying particular attention to classic fairy tales and imaginative themes. As with her previous books, Tatar's scholarly attention to children's stories grants them a long-sought academic legitimacy.
