The Wisdom of Fairy Tales

Fairy tales with their archetypal images live on through all the changes and upheavals of society, and they continue to be popular with children. Rudolf Meyer rediscovers the lost meaning of these stories and shows how they can have a profound, positive influence on the developing mind of the child. Telling fairy tales to children today gives spiritual nourishment that later in life can be a source of ideals and imaginative creative thinking. This book is an important resource for parents and teachers.
