by Hamilton Wright Mabie

Book Overview

The fairy tale is a poetic recording of the facts of life, an interpretation by the imagination of its hard conditions, an effort to reconcile the spirit which loves freedom and goodness and beauty with its harsh, bare and disappointing conditions. It is, in its earliest form, a spontaneous and instinctive endeavor to shape the facts of the world to meet the needs of the imagination, the cravings of the heart.

Great Fairytales

Organized more as a textbook, no illustrations. But the fairytales are great and there is great variety. Food for the imagination.
