In the four chapters of her book, Christy Williams presents a tightly written and thoroughly researched cross-border study of modern fairy-tales presented across media. In the introduction, Williams describes in detail her research field and carefully places her study. The idea of mapping focused on assigning location is central to Williams. She discusses various locations in worlds presented in modern fairy-tales, the location of fairy-tales in modern culture as well as spatial metaphors used by various researchers to describe their studies. Metaphors of the advent calendar, maps of unknown lands and/or undiscovered corners, as well as webs knitted and weaved all present fairy-tales as different narratives of the same kind and of a different level of interconnectivity. Williams emphasises that the understanding of fairy-tales as interconnected is central to her study, where certain metafictional narrative techniques are examined on how these transform the fairy-tale genre into a geographic landscape on a diegetic level (p. 2).
