A.Orthofer, \u003ci\u003eComplete Review\u003c\/i\u003e\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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Valiant Little Tailor | Eric Chevillard | Paperback | 9780300253191 | New | Fiction 1475801","offer_id":50566374719746,"sku":"1475801","price":32.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/618WtSAH1FL.jpg?v=1790784458","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/valiant-little-tailor","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
