What will it open?” “That nobody knows,” his aunt would reply. “He has to find that out.” Now all that his great-aunt told the boy about the golden key would have been nonsense, had it not been that their little house stood on the borders of F...

The worldwide popularity of Walt Disney’s film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs compelled me to write about the real meaning of fairy tales. That film destroys for both children and adults the spiritual content of a beautiful tale.

Reading these original stories carefully, one discovers that each phrase, even each word, is deliberately chosen to stress the true background of the events told. In our times it is increasingly necessary to give young children fanta... View more info
