Description: The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales By: Bruno Bettelheim ISBN: 978-0-307-73963-6Condition: Acceptable. Cover has wear around the edges and several creases. First several pages have moisture damage and a "used book" stamp on the bottom edge. Some pages also have sections underlined. Binding is solid. Bruno Bettelheim was one of the great child psychologist of the twentieth century, and perhaps none of his books have 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 Pig," "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 the greatest human task, that of finding meaning of the one's life.
