Jack Zipes is a retired professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota where he taught courses on folklore and fairy tales. A prolific author and political activist since the 1960s, his novellas reflect his belief that the worlds conditions have deteriorated for many, particularly for the young, and that fascism has crept into even the smallest corners of the globe. These tales are hopeful stories of resistance and defiance.
