Available online (1995-present) and in print (1978-present), this journal is “committed to a serious, ongoing discussion of literature for children.” It contains interviews with authors and editors, special editions on particular subjects, and general articles regarding children’s literature. A sample of the issues that include articles addressing fairy tales are: 24.3, 24.2, 20.1, and 19.1. The one drawback is that each edition must be searched individually, even online, to find articles relating to fairy tales (or any other subject).

The purpose of this journal is to publish scholarly articles about the fairy tale “in any of its diverse manifestations and contexts.” The journal is interdisciplinary and multicultural and is peer-reviewed. Each volume contains articles, translations of texts, reviews, and critical exchanges; there are also special editions. The actual web site does not contain full-text articles but does give complete citation information. Full-text articles for 2001-present may be accessed through Project Muse.

An excellent, kid-friendly site, this web site provides information about the Brothers Grimm and Andersen. Biographical information is supplied, and a story by each of the authors (“The Bremen Town Musicians,” Grimm and “The Real Princess,” Andersen) may be accessed with animated images and a person reading the story. Children can click the “next” button to turn the page. The link to each author has animated characters representing the author(s) and inviting the viewer to click on the story. Activities such as coloring sheets are available to download. The “games” link, however, leads to the parent cite, “kidsfuncanada.com” and does not relate to fairy tales.

This is a wonderful site dedicated to the Brothers Grimm. The introductory graphics are inviting and intriguing, and options from the site include: the chance to listen to and read the stories, biographical information about the Brothers, a map of the “fairy-tale road,” resources and links, and more. Very informative and visually stimulating, this site is an outstanding choice for discovering the Brothers Grimm and their fairy tales.

Within this site are many links to full-text tales by Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, and other authors. Links to special projects such as the “Cinderella Project” and the “Little Red Riding Hood Project” are also included. This site is a good source for accessing tales directly from the internet.
