The stock of accumulated fairy tale literature? Surprisingly it might be smaller/be fewer than you think/surmise. Searching the internet for "fairy tales the world cherishes", the number came to no more than a "round ten" or so of the best and most familiar household names, ones. As also with poetry on specific subjects and themes, especially those themes that I choose for my poems, THE FIELD IS WIDE OPEN FOR LACK OF COMPETITION. Fairy tales being known to be good for kids in many a' way, including: - they teach that "good" always triumphs over "bad", which serves to instill the idea firmly in children's minds that they should/ought to fight for Right as well, emulating their fairy tale heroes and heroines when they become grown and go out into the world. - the stories most often have a "moral" or "lesson" to be drawn from them, from which kids can learn the many facets/dimensions of Right from Wrong, Wise from Foolish, and Caring from Uncaring, to name only a few. - fairy tales abstract from the "mortal" human condition, and lift us up into a world (lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry on a mountain high!), free of limitations where "hero" and "heroine" without fail, "live happily ever after". What good can possibly come from such a blatant denial of Reality and the human condition as we know it? Could it be that it raises/lifts kids' thinking "above the clouds and rain, way above the hurt and pain", the woes and heartaches of this life, and would also equip them for the life as a pastor/preacher? hehe If this book has one contribution to make, it is hopefully to add to the existing stock of positivity-writ-large, "fairy tales the world cherishes", (and to the stock of pastors!).
