Kate Forsyth's Fairytale Oracle

Legends and fables are as old as language: as long as people have been speaking, they have passed down their wisdom encoded in stories of wonder and transformation. 'Fairytales are ancient narratives of good and evil, joy and sorrow, and struggle and triumph, like a trail of white stones through the dark and thorny forest of life. They show us the way forward and give us hope.
