       the Interpretation of Fairy Tales by Marie-Louise von Franz 
       By: Alfred Raeburne Date: October 27, 2014, 12:33 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "Of the various types of mythological literature, fairy tales
       are the simplest and purest expressions of the collective
       unconscious and thus offer the clearest understanding of the
       basic patterns of the human psyche. Every people or nation has
       its own way of experiencing this psychic reality, and so a study
       of the world's fairy tales yields a wealth of insights into the
       archetypal experiences of humankind.
       Perhaps the foremost authority on the psychological
       interpretation of fairy tales is Marie-Louise von Franz. In this
       book—originally published as An Introduction to the
       Interpretation of Fairy Tales —she describes the steps involved
       in analyzing and illustrates them with a variety of European
       tales, from "Beauty and the Beast" to "The Robber Bridegroom."
       Dr. von Franz begins with a history of the study of fairy tales
       and the various theories of interpretation. By way of
       illustration she presents a detailed examination of a simple
       Grimm's tale, "The Three Feathers," followed by a comprehensive
       discussion of motifs related to Jung's concept of the shadow,
       the anima, and the animus. This revised edition has been
       corrected and updated by the author."
