'Fairy tales are still arguably  the most powerfully formative tales of childhood and permeate mass media for children and adults.' (Maria Tatar, 1999, quoted in Warner, 2014, p.114)

'You have a sketch map and a rough guide; the lights are lit in the windows of that house in the deep dark forest ahead of us. We can begin to move in, listening out, eyes open, trying to find our bearings.' 
(Warner, 2014, p.xxiv)
