Event Description

Fairy tales have a fascinating history, especially in light of
the social and historical forces that played a role in the transition from
oral folk tale, to literary fairy tale, to the mass media and animated film. Folklorist Curt Yehnert will discuss the role fairy tales play in our early development and how they also affect our adult society in "The Witch's Garden: The Hidden Meaning of Fairy
Tales."
North Bend Public Library is pleased to host this Oregon Chautauqua from the Oregon Council for the Humanities. This free, public program will take place in the large meeting room at the library. Yehnert will primarily focus on the so-called romantic
fairy
tales such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and
Cinderella in
this presentation.
