Once Upon a Fairy Tale. Reading and Developing with a Psychologist

The path of growing up is not easy and not quick; it contains many difficult moments and crises. Fortunately, on this path, children have an assistant—a lovingly offered fairy tale, a "guide" through the faraway kingdom—a world of changes and... transformations, from which one returns as a completely different person. In this book, Lyudmila Petranovskaya will tell how fairy tales, legends, and myths help us grow up, learn how the world is structured, and understand ourselves. The book consists of five parts—essays by Lyudmila on how the fairy tales we all know from childhood influence the process of forming fundamental life concepts: strength, talent, love, will, and wisdom. After each essay, you will find fairy tales related to the theme of the essay. Page by page, you will rediscover the fairy tale heroes and their adventures, uncovering unexpected treasures hidden in "The Tale of Ivan Tsarevich, the Firebird, and the Gray Wolf" with illustrations by I. Bilibin, in Charles Perrault's fairy tale "The Boots of Boots" with illustrations by G. Doré, in the medieval legend "Tristan and Isolde" with graphics by W. Crane, in the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale "The Dirty One" with illustrations by A. Rackham, and another 11 beloved fairy tales read to tatters.
