A tale of the king's children, lost by an old witch, about brotherhood, compassion and sacrifice. A story about how, if you pursue your goal, you will surely achieve it. The characters in the story are made of balls of coloured yarn, bobbins, scraps of knitted fabrics, rolled-up skeins, crocheted hats, doilies and unfinished knitted items. Each thread, like a path, will eventually lead you to a real kingdom, a beautiful fairy tale world. Fairy tales are like medicine, because they have healing powers without forcing us to do, to be, to act - all we have to do is listen. Fairy tales contain the means to repair or restore any lost spring of the soul. They evoke sadness, emotion, compassion, raise questions and make us strive for something. Fairy tales contain lessons to help us navigate through life's difficulties. The distinction between good and bad characters in fairy tales also has a number of educational features. Children can read fairy tales and see for themselves who the good and bad characters are and what happens to them. Fairy tales help children to form an image of what a good and decent person in society should be and help them to decide what kind of person it is better to be when they grow up. Fairy tales are like a set of rules and values expressed in a creative way.
