Description
Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales is the first new volume of Dr. von Franz’s legendary Zurich lectures to be published since 1980. There are in-depth studies of six fairy tales – from Denmark, Spain, China, France and Africa, and one from the Grimm collection – with references to parallel themes in many others. Featuring the symbolic, nonlinear approach she is famous for, it offers unique insights into cross-cultural motifs and individual psychology.
