"We are talking, a couple of weeks before the release of the paperback
edition of the author's Grimm Tales for Young and Old, about fairy
stories, and wondering just what it is about them that explains their
enduring appeal for the young and the not-so-young. Later, the talk
turns to stories in general, and why the reading and the telling of them
is so extraordinarily important for children and their families. But
first, fairytales. What makes them so special?"
On the importance of storytelling.
