{"product_id":"9781789147698","title":"The Lost Princess : Women Writers and the History of Classic Fairy Tales by Anne E. Duggan","description":"People often associate fairy tales with Disney films, and with the male authors from whom Disney often drew inspiration - notably Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. In these portrayals the princess is a passive, compliant figure. By contrast, The Lost Princess shows that classic fairy tales such as `Cinderella', `Rapunzel' and `Beauty and the Beast' have a much richer, more complex history than Disney's saccharine depictions. Anne E. Duggan recovers the voices of women writers such as Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L'H?ritier and Charlotte-Rose de La Force, who penned popular tales about ogre-killing, pregnant, cross-dressing, dynamic heroines who saved the day. This new history will appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the lost, plucky heroines of historic fairy tales.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205109612722,"sku":"9781789147698","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781789147698.jpg?v=1705278016","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789147698","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
