The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales

what the hell was this guy on ( )

The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales is written like a dissertation. Unfortunately, I am not interested in the author's thoughts nor do I agree with his interpretation of the symbolism of the fairy tales. Additionally, I believe that the author is too puffed up in self-importance.to even write this book. Consequently, I do not recommend the book and I gave it only 1 star. ( )

Nope, just can't finish this one. It's not that I disagree, but Bettelheim belabors the point continually that fairy tales are good for kids because they can relate to the stories on multiple levels. And when he finally gets around to specific stories, it gets really weird. Are all psychologists such weirdo perverts?
