This volume continues Heinrich Zimmer's ideas in "The King and the Corpse", in which Zimmer takes the position that the ancient symbolic tales and scripts cannot be pinned to a particular theory, as they are in Bettelheim's Freudian approach or in Marie von Franz's Jungian analysis. It uses and explains the spirit of Zimmer - that the nature of a symbol must be left open so as not to confine it - and examines well-known fairy tales, looking for the many-faceted intimations common to all enduring art forms. The book argues that fairy tales are retold dreams, nets that catch hidden psychological realities embedded in the folk-soul, common to any age or time.
