{"product_id":"the-valiant-little-tailor-9780300253191","title":"The Valiant Little Tailor","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe classic Grimms' fairy tale of the valiant little tailor, as you've never heard it before\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Once upon a time, there lived a valiant little tailor who killed seven flies with one blow--but who is this narrator who has abruptly inserted himself into the story, claiming authorship? He's indignant: the fairy tale, borne carelessly along by the popular imagination, subjected to the transformations of oral tradition, was collected in a \u003ci\u003elamentable\u003c\/i\u003e state by the Brothers Grimm, and he intends to restore the tale and its giant-slaying, unicorn-fighting, boar-hunting star to their original magnificence. But the true hero of the story remains to be seen: Is it the tailor, the narrator, or someone else entirely? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this explosive retelling of the classic tale, Éric Chevillard enlists the reader in a dizzying game of crack-the-whip, with new directions and delights in every paragraph. At once irreverent and deeply sincere, this book is a mischievous, multifarious celebration of the power of stories and those who tell them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300253191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Eric Chevillard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42314708418741,"sku":"9780300253191","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1325348c-58e9-42d7-a7ad-f7719d7fc2e8.jpg?v=1659412549","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-valiant-little-tailor-9780300253191","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
