Young Adult Fairy Tales for the New Age: Francesca Lia Block's "The Rose and the Beast."
Russell, David L.
Children's Literature in Education, v33 n2 p107-15 Jun 2002
Considers how Francesca Lia Block's "The Rose and the Beast" attests to the resilience of the traditional folktale form. Describes how Block's work is a modern adaptation of some of the most familiar old tales, all with heroines struggling against plastic, soulless culture beset by drugs, sex, and violence. (SG)
