Have you read Bruno Bettelheim's book, THE USES OF ENCHANTMENT? Is a very interesting read and I was lucky enough to hear one of his lectures and meet him.
There are many good books about fairy tales, their histories, and the lessons they teach children, written by a couple, whose names escape me at the moment. I'll look at my books and send you the info tomorrow, via FRmail.
No, but will check it out. I buy most of my books on thriftbooks.com
Great work here
