Analyzes how German folktales represent girls in various stages of maturity from the onset of puberty to marriage. Notes the variations in the heroine's original condition (usually family constellation), the antagonists she encounters, and her final state (such as returning home or marrying). Also shows how the Grimm brothers changed the stories to perpetuate stereotypes of the heroine and the wicked mother, and to mask or eliminate the sexual maturation of the heroine and incestuous relationships. Finds that the tales reflect certain puberty rites and thus depict an important function of the oral tradition. Revised and updated from a doctoral dissertation, and translated from the German and supplemented for English readers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
