M. Cohen
Much of who we are as adults --what makes us cry and what makes us laugh--
began in the first stories that absorbed us and gave us so much pleasure. Return
to that pleasure from an analytical perspective, exploring fairytales and
folktales, coming-of-age stories, domestic fiction designed to educate girls,
adventure romance marketed to boys, and fantasy. Readings may include
The Adventures of Pinocchio; Little Women; The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe; Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry; Treasure Island; Harry Potter;
and selections from the Arabian Nights and European fairytales.
