From Library Journal
In her still best-selling Women Who Run with the Wolves ( LJ 6/15/92), Estes, a Jungian analyst turned New Age guru, presented "myths and stories of the wild woman archetype." In this slim volume, she embeds within two other brief narratives a retelling of the story popularized by O. Henry in his "The Gift of the Magi," here set in Hungary during World War II. The moral--since Estes believes that stories not only teach but heal--is also similar to O. Henry's: "The young couple . . . like the magi, were wise too, for they gave the most golden of all things possible. They gave their love, their truest love to one another." Her twist: "And it was enough." "The Gift of the Magi" has become a well-loved classic, and while Estes's retelling is graceful and wise and Michael McCurdy's wood-cut illustrations are dramatic, is the story different enough from O. Henry's to warrant a new publication? And will the millions of fans of Estes's previous work find it to be "enough"? Recommended only where there is demand.

From AudioFile
An unusual mix of stories and analysis make up this program, which emphasizes the nature of the oral tradition and storytelling. We hear three stories, which are intended to be both comforting and didactic. Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes the impact, both physical and pyschological, each story has upon the listener and relates how the oral tradition changed the tale to suit the times. The author's Jungian training permeates her analyses. Pinkola Estes reads the tales in a quiet tone, well-suited to the text. The stories are differentiated from the commentary by a slight shift in phrasing and emphasis. Audio is a most suitable format for this program. M.B.K.
