earliest visions of the medieval past for much of the contemporary Western (and increasingly Eastern) imagination. The essayists of The Disney Middle Ages explore Disney's mediation and re-creation of a fairy-tale and fantasy past, not to lament its exploitation of the middle ages for corporate ends, but to examine how and why these medieval visions prove so readily adaptable to themed entertainments many centuries after their creation. What results is a scrupulous and comprehensive examination of the intersection between the products of the Disney Corporation and popular culture's fascination with the middle ages.El caso de la pistola y el pastel de chocolate

autismo. A Colin le encantaría pasar inadvertido, que no le gritaran, que no le tocaran constantemente, que no le obligaran a jugar al baloncesto, que dejaran de hacerle tantas preguntas. Para él no hay nada mejor que observar, sentado en un solitario banco, mientras apunta en su raída libreta roja todo cuanto ve. El día que se produjo el disparo en la cafetería, en lugar de huir como todos los demás, a Colin le pudo su innata curiosidad de detective y, decidido y emocionado, se acercó al lugar de los hechos. Empezaba, así, el primer caso de su vida...
