À propos de ce livre

Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Karl Robert von Planitz, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Charles-François Daubigny. Why the same story turns up in Iceland, Bengal and the Congo - an inquiry into fairy tales as evidence rather than entertainment, by one of the founders of the comparative method. Hartland took the tales apart looking for what people actually believed. This edition is bound with a gallery of 59 plates of painting, including works by Eduard Putra, Jozef Hanula and Jan Wouwerman, dating from 1590 to 1920.
