Princess & Magic Horse

In her new book "Princess and Magic Horse," Regina Abt-Baechi presents the psychological interpretation of the three fairy tales "The Magic Horse," "Ferdinand Faithful and Ferdinand Unfaithful," and "The Goosegirl." Her interpretation is based on the earlier short interpretations by Barbara Hannah and Marie-Louise von Franz. The author carefully ponders each motif and symbol of the fairy tales. She thereby focuses on the archetypal basis of the psyche, connecting it to examples of typical individual experiences. Thus the meaning of the whole fairy tale emerges more clearly. Together, the interpretation and the illustrations--painted by the author--convey to the reader that these archetypal dreamlike stories can become truly alive in one's soul.
