Relentless Progress: The Reconfiguration of Children's Literature, Fairy Tales, and Storytelling

Author Jack Zipes argues that, despite the consumerisation of children, children's literature, fairy tales and storytelling possess a uniquely powerful capacity to resist the relentless progress of negative trends in culture. He also argues that these tales risk losing their power if they are diluted by commercialism and merchandising.Zipes, Jack D. is the author of 'Relentless Progress: The Reconfiguration of Children's Literature, Fairy Tales, and Storytelling', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415990639 and ISBN 0415990637.
