 Hi there!  I am desperately in need of assistance in locating possible
fairy tales to study for my dissertation.  The study is one comparing
female and male characters in traditional fairy tales to female and male
characters in post modern/contemporary/fractured fairy tales.  I'm trying
to compile an exhaustive list of contemporary fairy tale titles.  Could you
help me?  The criteria for the types of books I'm looking for follows:
1.  The fairy tale is a picture book meant for a child audience.
2.  The main character of the fairy tale is a female portrayed as a
stronger type of character than many traditional female fairy tale
heroines.  For instance, in The Paper Bag Princess, the princess rescues
the prince while Sleeping Ugly portrays a homely princess rather than the
beautiful princess typically characterized in traditional fairy tales.
3.  The book was published no earlier than 1969.
If you know of one, two, or 100 titles of books that would meet the above
criteria, could you please email me with your list?  I'm very excited about
the study.  Many of these newer, fractured-type fairy tales are clever
and should be delightful to read and analyze.  I appreciate your help
immensely!
Thank you,
