Abstract

The true fairy tale promotes freedom of phantasy, provides a legitimate outlet for forbidden longings, reassures the child that his sadistic impulses are not peculiar to himself, and for these and other reasons is to be retained as an instrument of nursery education. This does not apply to the Struwwelpeter type of story, whose sole object is to intimidate.
