The Owl, The Raven, and the Dove: The Religious Meaning of the Grimms' Magic Fai

Description: The Owl, The Raven, and the Dove by G. Ronald Murphy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this book, Ronald Murphy takes five of the best-known tales ("Hansel and Gretel," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Sleeping Beauty") and shows that the Grimms saw them as Christian fables. Murphy examines the arguments of previous interpreters of the tales, and demonstrates how they missed the Grimms intention. Publisher Description The fairy tales collected by the brothers Grimm are among the best known and most widely-read stories in western literature. In recent years commentators such as Bruno Bettelheim have, usually from a psychological perspective, pondered the underlying meaning of the stories, why children are so enthralled by them, and what effect they have on the the best-known tales (Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Snow White, and SleepingBeauty) and shows that the Grimms saw them as Christian fables. Murphy examines the arguments of previous interpreters of the tales, and demonstrates how they missed the Grimms intention. His own readings of the fiveso-called "magical" tales reveal them as the beautiful and inspiring "documents of faith" that the Grimms meant them to be. Offering an entirely new perspective on these often-analyzed tales, Murphys book will appeal to those concerned with the moral and religious education of children, to students and scholars of folk literature and childrens literature, and to the many general readers who are captivated by fairy tales and their meanings.
