Why Grown-Ups Still Need Fairy Tales

Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality, it’s a way of understanding it. Lloyd Alexander

The most exciting thing about fairy tales is not just magic or make-believe or stories for little children. It is the life lessons we as adults can learn from them. Reading these stories makes us better people. They can inspire us how to survive in today's world. Values are much needed in our culture; fairy tales can help us understand, recognize, and implement these. We can look at our own lives, search within and discover insights to help deal with more complex problems on a deeper level.

Point Of View

Like Alice, we need to open the doors to our closed perceptions and stop looking just through the keyhole. That view is narrow and so limited. Grow as a person, learn new things about our world. Knowledge is possibility.
