From a recent article in the UK Telegraph we learn that Richard Dawkins is stepping down from his post at Oxford to study the effect of fairy tales on children–and that he thinks referring to a child as a “Christian child” is worse that physically abusing children!
For a Christian perspective on fairy stories, I know of nothing better than Tolkien’s essay, On Fairy-Stories.
