The Childhood Of Fiction

The Childhood of Fiction is a scholarly book written by John Arnott MacCulloch. It is a study of folk tales and primitive thought, exploring the origins and development of fiction in human societies. The book examines the ways in which folk tales, myths, and legends have been used to communicate ideas, values, and beliefs throughout history. MacCulloch draws on a range of sources, including anthropology, psychology, and literary theory, to explore the deep-seated human need for storytelling and the ways in which these stories have evolved over time. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the role of myths and legends in ancient societies to the ways in which modern fiction reflects our contemporary concerns and values. It is a fascinating exploration of the human imagination and the ways in which we use stories to make sense of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
