In this book, Marie-Louise von Franz explores fairy tales through a Jungian lens, revealing the hidden lessons about the darkest aspects of human behavior. Fairy tales, while seemingly innocent, offer profound teachings to those who delve into their meaning. Von Franz unravels these lessons, drawing on her knowledge of folklore, her experience as a psychoanalyst, and her collaboration with Jung. Topics covered include how the "shadow" is personified in giants, monsters, and witches, and how fairy tales advise us on the struggle against evil and the importance of trusting our inner being.
Marie-Louise von Franz was a German-born Swiss Jungian analyst and scholar, known for her psychological interpretations of fairy tales and of alchemical manuscripts. She worked and collaborated with Carl Jung from 1933, when she met him, until he died in 1961.
