What significance does storytelling of fairy tales have for the education of children and adolescents? What awakens in us the desire to pass on and preserve this cultural heritage? This book demonstrates that fairy tale storytelling goes far beyond its entertainment function. It understands storytelling as an imaginative mimetic play action that allows shared knowledge and mutual connection to emerge in various processes between storytellers and listeners within a space of play, development, and education. While narrating traditional or invented fairy tales, storytellers, together with their audience, address questions and problems of their own existence through reimagining, reshaping, and stepping away from reality. In this productive recreation, imagination, language competence, and morality are developed. This understanding is essential for grasping this multidimensional perspective.
