Why read it?
1 author picked Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Few books have made such a lasting impression on me as this remarkable work on fairy tales and how to unlock their deep-rooted lessons.
It was like seeing the nuts and bolts of a secret language laid bare.

From Anthony's list on to read before hibernating.
