Legends and fables are as old as language: as long as people have been speaking, they have passed down their wisdom encoded in stories of wonder and transformation. 'Fairytales are ancient narratives of good and evil, joy and sorrow, and struggle and triumph, like a trail of white stones through the dark and thorny forest of life. They show us the way forward and give us hope.


Dr Kate Forsyth explores 11 of the world's most powerful fairytales. You will learn where they came from, what they mean and how you can turn to them for guidance. Fairytales are not merely stories designed to enchant and entertain: on a more profound and mysterious level, they explore genuine and challenging human dilemmas, warn us of dangers and give us the tools we need to overcome those hazards.
