Description

Bruno Bettelheim was once one of the vital great child psychologists of the 20th century and possibly none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy tales and their universal importance in working out childhood development.

Analyzing quite a lot of traditional stories, from the tales of Sindbad to “The Three Little Pigs,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “The Sleeping Beauty,” Bettelheim shows how the fantastical, from time to time cruel, but all the time deeply significant narrative strands of the classic fairy tales can aid in our best human task, that of finding that means for one’s life.
