Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales (Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts)

This is the first volume of von Franz's Zurich lectures to be published since 1980. There are in-depth studies of six fairy tales from Europe, China and Africa. Featuring the symbolic, non-linear approach von Franz is famous for, the book offers insights into cross-cultural motifs, as well as acting as a resource for understanding dream images.
