Your Favorite Fairy Tale
is what?
Mine is Hansl and Gretl, hands down. I'm reading a book that explains fairy tales in terms of their most basic message. Sheldon Cashdan, the author of The Witch Must Die, says Hansl and Gretl is basically a moral tale on gluttony. Cinderella is about envy (with plenty of castration anxiety thrown in as a side dish) and Snow White is about narcissism. so. what is your poison apple and why?
