Description: From the author's preface: "This book is a collection of fairy tale interpretations I presented in a series of lectures at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich. I did not want to focus on a specific theme but rather to wander through many countries and types of fairy tales. I chose some that challenged me because they were unusual. I wanted to show both their diversity and their underlying similarities, so that one could appreciate what is common to all civilizations and all human beings, and I wanted to show how Jung's method of interpreting archetypal fantasy material could be applied to these diverse tales.

Description
This is the first volume of von Franz's Zurich lectures to be published since 1980. There are in-depth studies of six fairy tales from Europe, China and Africa. Featuring the symbolic, non-linear approach von Franz is famous for, the book offers insights into cross-cultural motifs, as well as acting as a resource for understanding dream images.
