A provocative new theory about fairy tales from one of the world's leading authorities If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty understanding how it originated, evolved, and spread—or why so many people cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this book, renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes presents a provocative new theory about why fairy tales were created and retold—and why they became such an indelible and infinitely adaptable part of cultures around the world. Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology, psychology, literary theory, and other fields, Zipes presents a nuanced argument about how fairy tales originated in ancient oral cultures, how they evolved through the rise of literary culture and print, and how, in our own time, they continue to change through their adaptation in an ever-growing variety of media. In making his case, Zipes considers a wide range of fascinating examples, including fairy tales told, collected, and written by women in the nineteenth century; Catherine Breillat's film adaptation of Perrault's "Bluebeard"; and contemporary fairy-tale drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that critique canonical print versions. While we may never be able to fully explain fairy tales, The Irresistible Fairy Tale provides a powerful theory of how and why they evolved—and why we still use them to make meaning of our lives.

THE SISTERS: TEN DAYS IN SICILY The Guliano sisters are on the road again. This time to sunny Sicily to pick up an unexpected inheritance from their recently deceased uncle. This latest book in the Sisters Series is a humorous mystery in which we find the women from South Louisiana in the homeland of their Sicilian ancestors. They spend ten days discovering their roots and hiding their inheritance before trying to sneak it out of the country. The unexpected "gift" is of dubious, maybe illegal, nature and the women are alarmed to discover they are being followed and attempts are being made to relieve them of their inheritance. The novel brings back all five of the "wacky" sisters, practical, level-headed Diana, religious fanatic Annie, fun-loving, wild woman Fran, sweet, smart Lucie and the youngest one, psychiatrist Nadine. Nadine is married to the ex-mob, Louisiana godfather who may or may not be involved in their Sicilian adventure.
