Mentions of the Journal:
Since I’ve started this website I have been humbled by the
responses from people around the world, and by the number of people supporting it.
Here is a compilation of mentions of the blog in the media and elsewhere.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of its continuing growth.

“The fact
that websites are doing more than providing a wealth of folktale and fairy-tale
primary texts to those who can access the Internet is further brought home by
the multiplying of online publications, like the English-language Cabinet de Fees and Fairy Tale Review (both of which have issues also available in
print); discussion forums such as SurLaLune’s, which in the October 2000-June
2011 period had 3,761 average visits per day and 23,391 total posts on over six
hundred different topics; blogs, including Breezes from Wonderland by
Harvard-based fairy-tale scholar Maria Tatar and the one Michael Lundell has
maintained since 2007, The Journal of [the] 1001 Nights; and Facebook groups
like Fairy Tale Films Research” (10).
