Passage 1
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same
words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to
tell a story than to read it out of a book and, if a parent can produce an improvement on the printed text, so
much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic
impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read
fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. On the whole, their symbolic verbal
discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think,
well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises
from the child having been told the story on only one occasion. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the
pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that
giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies
in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such
