Excerpt from A Study of Fairy TalesIn the study of fairy tales, as of any portion of the curriculum or as in any presentation of subject-mat ter, three main elements must unite to form one com bined Whole: the child, the subject, and the teaching of the subject. In behalf of the child I want to show how fairy tales contain his interests and how they are means for the expression of his instincts and for his development in purpose, in initiative, in judg ment, in organization of ideas, and in the creative return possible to him. In behalf of the subject I want to show What fairy tales must possess as classics, as literature and composition, and as short-stories, to trace their history, to classify the types, and to supply the sources of material. In behalf of the teaching of fairy tales I want to describe the telling of the tale the preparation it involves, the art required in its presentation, and the creative return to be expected from the child.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
