agree!
I read this book with one gulp - even if it was a bit hard ti read at the beginning. I think i will read it again - when i am a bit ore prepared. Now i am reading looking through yungian books and our native fairy tales (i am Russian) and books which describe what our legends are and what is what there

My therapist asked me to read it and its been one surprising trip down self knowledge :) I love reading folk tales and legends, im Mexican and we have lots of them and to read them and understand the cultural behaviour through them is amazing.

Actually, after this book i realized how lottle do i know about our ancestry - ancient Slavs! Of couse we all re read Russian fairy tales, and they are refasioned very ancient fables of the very old times - when first tribes came at this territory! But there must be some old schemes remained! And when you read these fairly tales you have known from childhood but you read it with your eyes wide open and see details you have never paid attention before... It IS outstaning feeling and experience!
And it also helps to see how this old-old images are used now in politics, ads and so on! You really see worl in a different way!

If possible, could you please tell: what is the basic book to read about Mexican fables? :-)
