Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Red Riding Hood...  fairy tales are full of stories that take place in enchanted forests.  And sacred woods and trees figure strongly in mythic traditions, from the British Isles to the Norselands to ancient Sumeria.   Marina Warner writes about art, symbolism, myth and fairy tales.  She explores the many meanings of forests in the human imagination.

i enjoyed her interview and thank you for your wonderful programs. I shall be visiting this site more often.

Fairy tales were written as lessons to children.tthey are not natural history.
Forests and other natural environments are much safer than any human centered one.
