• Resumen

  • People of every culture tell each other fairy tales and the same story often takes a variety of forms in different parts of the world. The universal appeal of these fantastical tales is frequently attributed to the idea that they contain cautionary messages: in the case of Little Red Riding Hood, to listen to their mother, not stray from the path, and avoid talking to strangers. Here, Sarchet details the reasons behind the enduring appeal of fairy stories.
