More particularly, this book will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the stylistic characteristics and implications of how stories are told and retold. * Paul Simpson, The Baines Professor of English Language, Liverpool University, UK * This original volume offers a transparent exposition of narrative retellings across a wide range of textual modes, mediums and genres.
