“A wonderful book that can engage the
wiseperson and the child within every adult who reads it. Wisdom and
truth are present in each carefully and delightfully chosen fairy
tale...But this is just beginning, for Allan Chinen then provides us
with rich insights into the psychological and spiritual meaning of the
stories.”
—— Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., author of Goddesses
in Everywoman, Gods in Everyman, Crossing to Avalon, Close to the Bone
“A great service for the study of fairy
tales. Dr. Chinen has recovered an aspect of fairy tales that has long
been neglected in our culture. ...more than just an anthology of fairy
tales, it is a wonderful dose of wisdom for those fearful of growing
old in troubled times.”
—— Jack Zipes, translator of The Complete
Grimm's Fairy Tales, author of Don't Bet on the Prince : Contemporary
Feminist Fairy Tales in North America and England
“An important book in the developmental
psychology of aging. It illuminates elder tales even as it extends the
work of science.”
—— David Gutmann, author of Reclaimed
Powers: Toward a New Psychology of Men and Women in Later Life
