Fairy Tales

I spent the evening reading the fairy tales of The Faun and the Woodcutters Daughter, an excellent collection of new fairy tales written in the classical fairy tale style.

• Fairy tales teach -- how to have courage, what to watch out for, how to be a hero.


• Fairy tales entertain. They are packed with beauty, danger, conflict, and daring deeds, all the stuff that makes a good story.


• Fairy tales remind us to view the world with wonder -- it's full of fairies and magic.


• Fairy tales encourage us to have hope. Though the witch has cast a spell on you, with perseverance and a pure heart, you can overcome it.
