Abstract
Abstract:Traditional stories of a country, in particular folk and fairy tales, can potentially be used to help children overcome some of the challenges of growing up in an unsafe environment through the medium of storytelling. A textual analysis of three Malaysian folktales examines the viability of these texts as examples of stories of survival. The traumatic issues depicted include the abandonment and loss of a parental figure, abuse and powerlessness, and how children deal with difficult emotions such as vanity, envy, and greed.
