Tartar introduction

I personally loved the introduction. Tartar fed my mind with many interesting views about what role fairytales might play in a child's life. My favorite idea that she proposed was that Fairy tales teach children that bad things happen in life. Sometimes bad things happen for no rhyme or reason, they just do. At times no moral lesson can be learned by these negative events in life. What the fairy tale does is transport the child into a fictional world which makes these negative experiences seem less threatening. What a novel concept!
