Cr�ticas:

"Once upon a time, an insightful author named Hunter took it upon himself to slay the dragon called "Disney." In doing so, he brought the magic of truth to the stories we thought we knew like Cinderella and Little Snow-White. With a light heart and the sword of perception, Hunter frees the wisdom from Grimm's fairy tales. It is these ancient stories that teach us about humanity and reveal ways in which we can live in fullness and fulfillment. Hunter's journey takes Grimm's tales and brings them back home to us where they belong."
--M. Nora Klaver, author of Mayday!: Asking for Help in Times of Need

"The Grimms' fairy tales are high on the list of stories we need to know, and Allan Hunter's latest book tells us why: they deal with the crisis issues
of all human life, maturity and survival and the need for self-knowledge. Princes, Frogs and Ugly Sisters steps outside the familiar Hollywood selections, and brings new and respectful insights even to what we thought we knew best. This is a wise book, about wisdom, by an author
who knows people, not just books."
--Thomas Shippey, author of
The Road to Middle-earth

Rese�a del editor:

Analyzing the ways in which the Grimm brothers' tales provide real, vital insights into how to live more happily, understand the need for personal and psychological growth, and find that significant other, this innovative study revives the true healing nature of these beloved tales. Combining enjoyment of these tales with insightful research, this exploration uses actual case histories to show how the odd and bizarre episodes in fairy tales are actually astounding renditions of human behaviors that occur during times of crisis. It also shows how the six archetypal stages of psychological development are present both in these tales and in everyday life. Contrary to common, contemporary fairy tale re-creations, this study discusses how the Grimm brothers’ stories deal with topics such as dysfunctional family dynamics, sexual jealousy, narcissism, incest, rape, and personal growth from trauma to wellness—noting that Cinderella didn’t have a fairy godmother and frogs were never kissed.
