Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the 20th century. This is his most influential and well-known book. From the legend of Sinbad to The Three Little Pigs, through Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, Bettelheim studies a panoply of fairy tales, uncovering their deepest meanings, freed from the symbolism that camouflages essential learning. In doing so, the importance of the role that traditional stories play in child development becomes clear, with echoes into our adult lives. Fairy tales can be fantastic, cruel, and deeply meaningful, providing us with a map to overcome conflicts and difficulties and face the greatest task of all: giving meaning to our lives. An essential read.
