Description: "The scope of Douglas E. Cowan's examples is astonishing--no stone went unturned in this collection of tales. The perennial love of fairy tales and the ubiquitous grasp that Disney has on the imagination of students is balanced nicely with the more hard-core gaming and role playing. There is something here for everyone."--Cathy Gutierrez, author of Plato's Ghost: Spiritualism in the American Renaissance "Cowan manages to take stories that are at the extreme end of familiarity--fairy tales that we all know from childhood, and which have been made into movies countless times--and make them come alive in ways that are genuinely fresh and insightful, showing clearly their relevance for our time and proving that they deserve serious study of precisely the sort he offers in this book."--James F. McGrath, author of Theology and Science Fiction
