Jack Zipes is an authority on the Brothers Grimm and other fairy tales.  He tells Steve Paulson why he’s not a big fan of the Harry Potter Books, what great children’s literature should do, and how he fights with his daughter about her books and music.  Zipes’ latest book is “Sticks and Stones: The Troublesome Success of Children’s Literature from Slovenly Peter to Harry Potter.”
