Fairy Tales

Category: Literature :: Permalink

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten” — G. K. Chesterton, cited as the epigram in Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, a fairly decent (and spooky) children’s fairy tale which I read this afternoon while sitting in Chapters.
