Marvels & Tales is a peer-reviewed journal of fairy-tale studies. International and multidisciplinary in orientation, the journal publishes rigorous scholarly work dealing with the fairy tale in any of its diverse manifestations and contexts.
Marvels & Tales recognizes that interest in the fairy tale crosses cultural as well as disciplinary boundaries. Accordingly, the journal addresses a multidisciplinary audience and provides a central forum for fairy-tale scholars in disciplines such as literary studies, folklore, psychology, gender studies, children's literature, social and cultural history, anthropology, film studies, ethnic studies, art and music history, and others.
Committed to promoting advances in fairy-tale studies, Marvels & Tales encourages research that introduces and explores new or neglected subject areas, as well as work that reconsiders the fairy-tale canon in light of new critical approaches and theories. Because many contemporary questions in fairy-tale studies require interdisciplinary answers, Marvels & Tales also seeks to promote informed research addressing more general issues that cross or transcend traditional disciplinary borders.
In addition to publishing original scholarly articles, Marvels & Tales publishes translations of historically important research, texts and translations of fairy tales and related primary documents, illustrations, critical exchanges, and reviews of recent books and other media.

Slightly Foxed is a delightful British quarterly publication launched in 2004. As they describe their mission:
Eclectic, elegant and entertaining, Slightly Foxed unearths books of lasting interest, old and new, all of them in print. Each issue contains 96 pages of personal recommendations from contributors who write with passion and wit. Slightly Foxed aims to strike a blow for lasting quality – for the small and individual against the corporate and the mass produced.
Their remit is all literature, not just children's, however, probably 20-30% of their articles either are about children's books or touch on them.
I like the fact that they focus on sustaining attention on lasting quality, and the fact that they often cover children's books. However, their strength is simply excellent and compelling writing. The quality of the essays reflects their choice of contributors and the value of what those contributor's have to say.
Of the many thousands of books I have purchased in my life, I doubt I have ever purchased a book on cooking. And yet I found myself reading an essay some months ago by a contributor recollecting and elaborating on a cooking book from the 50's or 60's. And not just reading the essay but thinking to myself, "I need to keep my eyes open for that book".
If you want great writing about neglected books I highly recommend Slightly Foxed to you.
