“A charming book about enchantment, a profound book about fairy tales.”—John Updike, The New York Times Book Review
Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologists of the twentieth century and perhaps none of his books has been more influential than this revelatory study of fairy tales and their universal importance in understanding childhood development.
Analyzing a wide range of traditional stories, from the tales of Sindbad to “The Three Little Pigs,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “The Sleeping Beauty,” Bettelheim shows how the fantastical, sometimes cruel, but always deeply significant narrative strands of the classic fairy tales can aid in our greatest human task, that of finding meaning for one’s life.
Irish narrator Gerard Doyle delivers this 1976 classic of child psychology with fine clarity and conversational authority. It’s less a lecture than a very intelligent fireside chat. It’s also one of those audiobooks that may inspire the listener to jot down notes. The audiobook doesn’t tell the tales themselves but is an intensely academic and often entertaining Freudian analysis of the important part that fairy stories play in child development. Topics discussed include sibling rivalry, puberty, cannibalism, and the symbolism of the color red. B.P. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

I remember this being recommended in English lectures, strange to see it in audio. Bettelheim turned out to be quite a controversial character. Many thanks, jodindy.

Oh no… it’s worthless Freudian crap.
I’d suggest a quick read up on the author and his practice of child abuse while blaming everything he perceived wrong with children (mostly erroneously) on the parents - up to and including autism.
That alone should tell anyone the quality of “insight” such a mind can come up with.
If you want actually useful information on tales told to children (which were not necessarily fairy tales in the beginning) look up “When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth” by Elizabeth Jane Wayland Barber.
OR EVEN “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” by Joseph Campbell.
Granted, Campbell is not far from Freudians, pushing Jungian nonsense wherever he can but at least he did his homework and there’s actual insight into myths and religions and misunderstandings when taking them literally.

another jewish fraud (following the bread crumbs of freud) pushing his anti-goy pseudo-science after having been given funding by the rockefeller foundation. the above commentator is 100% correct.
The people of the west (especially americans) have been duped and hypnotized by perverts, communists, and racist ethnocentric zionists, who slithered onto the forefront of academia in the early part of the 20th century and have cunningly kept a foot-hold ever since.
