“And
they lived happily ever after” is not just the promise of fairy tales.
It is the major character education lesson of the enduring
international folktales retold in this book. The overarching theme of
the book is that virtue leads to happiness. The designs of evil people,
witches, and sorcerers are defeated in the end; kind people, good
fairies, wise rulers, and noble princesses earn their “happily ever
afters” through solid virtues of character. This is the first “read
alone” book of the series, with a separate student textbook of stories
and a teacher’s manual full of thought-provoking discussions,
activities, and exercises that draw out of the lessons of these
beautiful multi-cultural tales. |
