regional, perhaps racial
and there are many folk
songs.

Mrs. Spence said that
children need fairy tales
to survive because they
teach that everyday
problems are not unique
according to a..no.ted
psychologist, Prof. Bruno
Bettleheim. He said,
"The tremendous value

n
of fairy tales is, when
exposed to fairy tales, a
child knows "This doesn't
happen only to me, it
happens all over the
world."
He said children who
aren't allowed to escaper .
the real world through
fairy tales may become
addicted in later life to
drugs or television in an
effort to try to escape. He
said a key ingredient in
fairy tales such as Cin-
derella is that the hero or
heroine emerges from the
experience as a changed
person,
