Fairy tales are powerful stuff when taken seriously. Their simplicity and directness provide valuable insights into the workings of our emotions. Dr. von Franz devoted much of her life to the difficult task of interpreting fairy tales, bringing clarity and earthy good humor to the work.
In this latest book, originally a series of lectures in Los Angeles, Dr. von Franz focuses on what fairy tales can tell us about the contrasexual complexes-animus and anima-that inform our fantasies and behavior concerning the opposite sex, both inner and outer. Yet another treasure from the master!
