The Classic Grimm's Fairy Tale
With Commentary for the Thoughtful Parent

Andrew Flaxman, Illustrated by Patricia DeLisa

Along with the Bible and Shakespeare, Grimms' fairy tales rank among the best selling literature of the Western world. And Little Red Riding Hood is perhaps the best known story of the Grimms brothers' collection. What accounts for such popularity? Like all of the Grimms' fairy tales, the characters in this story led us to discover the treasures in our own souls.

In his insightful commentary, Andrew Flaxman helps us understand the deeper meaning behind this story and fairy tales in general. Patricia DeLisa brings us a beautifully illustrated and important contribution to the literature of fairy tales.

ANDREW FLAXMAN graduated cum laude from Princeton in 1957 and earned a master's degree in business at Rutgers. After a successful career as an investment banker and stockbroker, he became convinced that our economic life, based upon increasing selfishness, egotism, and lack of self-knowledge, was bringing our civilization to disaster. For the past few decades he has been a publisher of self-educational products, a seminar organizer, and a teacher of emotionally disturbed adolescents. Andy is a fundraiser and the Bell Pond Books editor for children's books.

PATRICIA DELISA makes her home as an artist with her husband and three children on Long Island, New York, just a few miles from the vast beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. From this place in the world she also designs a line of infants' and childrens' clothing and operates a design business with her sister, using the rich arts inspired by anthroposophy to steward beauty into the world.
