This book will open your eyes to the world of dreams, fairy tales and myths. Fromm fairly describes other people's views, including those of Jung and Freud, with his own. Unfortunately, as an Introduction, Fromm assumes the reader will either know psychoanalytical theories, or take his word as truth. Still, it will change the way you look at dreams, fairy tales and myths. They will start to make sense.
