About the Book

Do you remember when story time was magical, enchanted, and filled with wonder and amazement? Many psychologists and spiritual teachers have commented on the great value of revisiting folktales in our later years. Within this little book of tales, you may find favorites—favorite stories, favorite characters, and better yet, favorite parts of yourself. A throng of magical characters, moving themes, and meaningful archetypes—they just naturally draw one in. A folktale character getting their groove on can be an irresistible thing. So-called children’s literature does not play second fiddle to other literature. In fact, it holds the very same powers. It transports us to different times and places and to different times and places within our own psyche. Partake, dear reader. Each story is a journey within.

About the Author

The author has written on many subjects and, of late, is making a study of the ancient tradition, in all cultures, of telling folktales. He is a believer that the child-self remains forever alive in the psyche, and that the fairy tale/folktale holds a near-mystical power of enchantment for that timeless self of both yesteryear and today. Story time going way back to early school days was very special and it remains so to this day. No man or woman outgrows them – the stories. Just the opposite is the case - their importance returns full force to the aging and reflective in need of a reminder of the important things, sometimes long forgotten.
