[...] Fairy tales are more than true – not because they tell us dragons exist but because they tell us dragons can be beaten. What does he mean, I ask – that they are true and also… inspiring? True and also lies! says Gaiman. If someone says: We have investigated – there was no Snow White, Im not going to go: Oh no, my story is now empty and meaningless. The point about Snow White is that you can keep fighting. The point about Snow White is that even when those who are meant to love you put you in an intolerable situation, you can run away, you can make friends, you can cope. And that message, he says with a smile of satisfaction, – that even when all is at its darkest, you can think your way out of trouble – is huge. telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/11243761/Neil-Gaiman-Disneys-Sleeping-Beauty.html
