"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." G. K. Chesterton
This was on the sidebar of Anita's CASTLES CROWNS & COTTAGES post. I've heard it quoted on Criminal Minds and it tells a lot about childhood.

Very good thought. I loved to read to my girls, and they loved it, too. And there are so many lessons. Diane
Oh how neat, Rosalie... Kids love books and need to be read to OFTEN... Sometimes, the adults don't take the time to do it... Great photo.
Hugs,

I love that! I think it's a lesson I need to keep in mind. Perhaps it would help my little anxious girl... she needs to know dragons can be beaten?
Don't you just love that quote? And G.K. Chesterton you know, was a scholar par excellence, and he knew that WE HAVE THE POWER but sometimes not the will, to slay those naughty dragons! Thank you mudderbear for coming to visit me..bless YOU as you make a difference in the lives our the little ones in your life....blessings, Anita
