This is a very interesting and comprehensive read about the origin of fairy tales and those who collected and retold them.

Jubber looks at the multifaceted origins of some of the most well-known fairy tales and the people and cultures that created them. 

This book has a primary focus on the people who collected and popularised the stories - the Fairy Tellers.

I enjoyed learning about the history and significance of stories that I've known all my life, how they came about, and why they've been so enduring. 

This book would be best suited to someone with a particular interest in folklore as opposed to the casual reader.
