Why Children Need Fairy Tales and Alpine Flower Fairy Stories - David Sloan

Simple stories and fairy tales enrich a growing child's imagination. Between the ages of four and eight, these tales can help children to develop both psychologically and emotionally. This two-part collection from master storyteller Jakob Streit begins with an essay for parents and teachers explaining the importance of fairy tales, and outlining their place in early Waldorf education. The second part presents the Alpine Flower Fairy Tales, a collection of nature-centred stories first told to children in a Swiss mountain village and later written down to be shared with readers young and old. These luminous tales reveal nature at work through the presence of helpful, spirited fairies.
