Fairy tales can be great tools for thinking metaphorically about ageing � both the reading of fairy tales and the writing of fairy tales. Some great resources on this topic include �EXPANDING THE POSSIBILITES OF OLDER ADULTHOOD� by Allan B. Chinen who �tells us how these tales give instruction about the positive aspects of aging.�

Another great resource from Chinen on this topic is the book Once upon a Midlife: Classic Stories and Mythic Tales to Illuminate the Middle Years, available here from Amazon.com.
