26 – A book that changed your opinion about something
“The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales” by Bruno Bettelheim
I’ve always been very interested in all things related to fairytales. This book is really beautiful and it changed my opinion about the kind of stories to tell to children.
I thought the sugary/Disney versions were better for them, but this book taught me that children understand the original versions, aren’t afraid by the darkness in them and that learn more things from them than from their “softened” versions.
