    Why fairy tales matter
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 18, 2010*

Prolific writer Jane Yolen is a passionate proponent of the role of traditional folk and fairy tales in the lives of children. In Touch Magic, she warns "Our children are growing up without their birthright: the myths, fairy tales, fantasies and folklore that are their proper legacy. It is a serious loss."Traditional tales perform four crucial functions, Yolen argues. They provide ...1. a landscape of allusion. (Example: How can you appreciate Shrek if you've never read Mother Goose rhymes and fairy tales?)2. insight into ancestral cultures3. a safe path for processing experience4. a framework for an individual's beliefs and values"When we ... deprive [children] of the insights and poetic visions expressed in words that humans have produced throughout human history, we deny them - in the end - their own humanity," she writes. We bequeath to them a dry and shallow culture. Children deserve better.

    Good Book
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2020*

This was wanted for the information it contained. Not quite as expected but OK all the same.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book of essays
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2013*

A more scholarly selection of essays than the book TAKE JOY by Jane Yolen that I recently read.  Learned the original meaning of SHAZAM, which I've wondered about. I've just started reading it and like it so far. I've got two children's books on the back burner. I'm finding this book helpful.
