Fairy tales are not just for children! In fact by relegating them to the nursery we are missing out on the profound teachings and wisdoms that have been handed down to us by word of mouth for thousands of years.

Focusing on the spiritual significance of these 'fairy' stories, Ann Gadd assists us in reaching greater understanding of the perils and pitfalls that await us on various stages of our development, if we are not vigilant. She helps the reader to understand that hidden within each 'fairy tale' there is in-depth wisdom, insight and spiritual guidance to help us on our path, placed there by the authors for all to read, understand and follow. Climbing the Beanstalk will help you to:

. Learn the seven stages of man's spiritual development and relate this to your own spiritual growth
. See how the chakra system is reflected in each tale
. Understand the symbology used in fairy tales
. Recognise the places where you could get stuck on your mystical journey
. Have a greater understanding of the profound truths you are passing on when you read fairy tales to your children
. Come to a spiritual understanding of the information imparted through fairy tales

Fairy tales covered include Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Blue Beard, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Swineherd, and Hansel and Gretel.
