still on fairytales

aqui

"Fairytales move like dreams from image to image, rather than rationally from event to event. And, like dreams, they resist explanation. A fairytale is resistant to any single simplified meaning. The multi-layered quality of a fairytale is something that many scolars acknowledge in theory, but deny in practice. Especially when they deal with oral fairytales."
Neil Philip, in Creativity and Tradition in The Fairytale
