Usborne Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls

Description

《被遺忘的勇敢聰明女孩的童話》是一本基於八個傳統民間童話故事的合集，這些故事並不像《灰姑娘》和《睡美人》那樣廣為人知，部分原因可能是它們的女主角不符合維多利亞時代對美麗、天真的理想。

Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls is a collection based on eight traditional folk and fairy tales which haven’t become as well known as, for example, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, partly perhaps because their heroines didn’t meet Victorian ideals of beauty, passivity, and innocence. Fairy tales come from an oral tradition, so they were always changing — until the Victorians wrote them down, when they stayed the same for many years.
