Animal School

Boris Ruzic's fables' animals are determined and free; they take destiny into their own hands and make sure things turn out to the benefit of all; they teach us that there is a solution to every problem and that we can achieve anything with enough will and perseverance. And this is the best of life's lessons.The Author on Fairy TalesFairy tales' holistic life messages convey not only what one knows and is able to do, but also what one is allowed and not allowed to do; fairy tales offer new hope and show us the way forward.Many modern psychotherapeutic schools use fairy tales as an extremely effective therapeutic device for holistically addressing individuals, mobilising their imagination and emotions.Fairy tales enable children to deal with existential questions symbolically and to grow thrive without worry, developing mature and whole personalities. From this point of view, fairy tales are also important for adults; they recognise our experience, our happiness, our hardship, our pain.Above all, fairy tales foster human imagination and, in general, cognitive ability; or as Albert Einstein put it: "e;If you want kids to be smart, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be even smarter, read them still more fairy tales."e;Boris RuA iA After successfully completing his training as a veterinary technician and trying several professions, Boris 'Bobi' RuA iA , born in Ljubljana in 1954, finally discovered his mission in life in fairy tales. He began developing his narrative skills when his daughter was born and gradually began inventing fairy tales not only for children, but for adult dreamers as well. He has been commissioned to create texts that address particular problems which appear as unique handwritten wood-covered editions, and has written a guide for men who find themselves in the role of father. He is currently writing a travelogue.
