Princes, Frogs and Ugly Sisters The Healing

"You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince" - at least that's what people say. But what if the princess never kissed that frog? What if that whole episode was invented by Walt Disney Studios? Have you been trying to run your romantic life by depending on inaccurate information? What if the original story says something completely different?

Dr. Allan G. Hunter is a professor of literature, a counselor, a therapist, and the author of nine books about the regenerative power of writing and literature, including The Six Archetypes of Love and Stories We Need to Know. He lives in Watertown, Massachusetts.
