Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales

Fairy tales seem to be nothing more than naive stories intended for children. However, they contain a deep meaning, and by delving into this depth, we can extract a rather valuable lesson. In this book, Marie-Louise von Franz, a renowned student and follower of Carl Gustav Jung, reveals some important ideas hidden in fairy tale plots collected from various corners of the world, sharing her extensive knowledge of folkloric material, rich experience in psychoanalysis, and memories of Jung.

The book will undoubtedly be of interest not only to students, teachers, and practicing psychologists and psychotherapists but also to a wide range of readers.
