C.G. Jung, Rudolf Steiner, Bruno Bettelheim, and others, have recognized that the fairy tale is not just an arbitrary fantasy or folk imagination, but that in all genuine fairy tales there is deep meaning, a meaning which expresses the soul wisdom of the heart. Children especially come to a natural experience of great truths when they are raised with fairy tales. This luminous edition of Little Red Riding Hood includes a commentary for parents and teachers that reveals the soul and spiritual qualities underlying the story, enabling users to tell or read the tale with renewed appreciation.
