Book 40: From the Beast to the Blonde
From the Beast to the Blonde: In Fairy Tales and Their Tellers by Marina Warner was a slog for me. I found the first half on the "Tellers" to have too many references to art history and too many historical generalizations. I had hoped for a more factual look at female storytellers and instead plodded through more of a history of how women were perceived. In part two which was supposed to cover stories, I did enjoy some of the comparisons of different versions of a story, but the constant Freudian psychoanalysis was overabundant and not at all interesting to me. 1 star.
