The fairy-tale is a popular form rooted in the oral story-telling tradition, collected and written down by Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. Fairy-tale has also proved to be influential on the popular form of the 20th-century cinema. The centrepiece of this volume is three lectures by the writer Marina Warner, who examines the relationship bewteen fairy-tale and the cinema through the work of film-makers such as Renoir and Cocteau. Accompanying essays expand the issues Warner raises - from the influences of fairy-tale motifs on cinema to the problematic relationship between the adult as producer and the child as implied audience - and the thorny issues of paternalism and censorship.
