This guidebook to the Bright-Shadow World develops three closely related issues. The first is the position that fairytales and folktales are of value today because they encourage the growth of capabilities important in our postmodern world. Each of us, like the fairytale hero, sets out on his/her own quests, seeks his/her own identity, faces his/her own dilemmas with few resources but wit, imagination, and a certain power of improvisation. King develops the implications of this situation for such common fairytale problems as learning to read the world productively; navigating various kinds of edges; exploiting power sources; developing highly personal moral commitments; problem solving; and data collecting.The second concern of this book is with the development of a system for analyzing narrative structure. The formula offered here involves an examination of interactions among actors, physical settings, lines of force, and power sources as a narrative moves toward its denouement. This system facilitates the classifying, and contrasting of narratives, and illuminates the structure of both narrative and lived experience.Finally, this book is concerned with myth-making or world-making processes. It is shown that traditional narrative actually points to and delineates another dimension of existence (here called the Bright-Shadow World) that operates by rules of its own and may be penetrated by individuals from our ordinary world. Inferences about the Bright-Shadow World drawn from traditional narrative are described and evaluated.

Après avoir été une composition musicale exécutée sur la harpe ou la rote, le lai est devenu un genre narratif, un court poème relatant une aventure, un événement extraordinaire. On connaît bien les lais de Marie de France. Ceux de notre volume s'inscrivent dans la même lignée. Ils appartiennent à un monde de sortilèges - les êtres et les choses y sont libérés des lois naturelles, l'insolite fait irruption à chaque instant, les amours sont improvisées mais presque toujours durables, le malheur et la religion n'ont pas droit de cité . Cet espace mythique, lieu d'apparitions, de métamorphoses et d'enlèvements, privilégie le merveilleux plus que le fantastique. En ouvrant la porte à l'imagination il nous offre le plaisir sans prix du dépaysement.
