A true fairy story
is a work of art. At Michaelmas, in 1795, there appeared a series of
stories of which the concluding one was a Fairy Tale, The Green Snake
and the Beautiful Lily. This tale tells of magical transformation, yet
one which, when the time is ripe, can be experienced by every human
being. The author of these stories was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and
the creation of this Fairy Tale was to have far reaching consequences.
This book arises
out of the inspiration of David Newbatt to bring together the original
English translation by Thomas Carlyle with a series of pictures, to
help reveal the seven-fold process which unfolds within Goethe's Fairy
Tale, this process being a path of inner development and personal transformation.
Together with the
translation by Thomas Carlyle and the series of seven pictures by David
Newbatt, the book includes an introduction by Tom Raines.
