In the Ever After book cover


“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
