I was struck by the similar themes between Grimm's fairy tales and Carolyn's approach to children being prepared for life. I had heard analysis of Grimm's tales - "The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales<br>
" by Bruno Bettelheim - as being brutal (think Hansel and Gretel) but realistic in the problems children face with the real world.<br>
<br>
I was really pleased to see Caroline deal very matter of factly about life, and think it's one of the best features of her writing and plot lines. <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX.
