With the help of this book, children from the age of three and adults can find their own personal form of learning. Fantasy journeys are an invaluable help for young and old to relax while learning, to be fully present, to develop all intellectual, artistic and athletic abilities, as well as inner peace and harmony with fellow human beings. Our traditional educational system gives priority to children who can think logically and analytically, who can express themselves clearly, and who fit into the assessment grid that is set up for oral, written and mathematical tasks and for factual memory. But our children know much more than we give them credit for. Hundreds of thousands, however, unlearn what they already know because we don’t take their knowledge seriously. They lose their own personal method of learning because, for example, some teachers think they are cheating if they remember what they have learned too easily. For anyone who has or cares for children, and anyone who wants to rediscover the child within, this book is an alternative to the poverty of the usual day-to-day learning. Parents and teachers who are dissatisfied with our educational system will find it appealing, as will people who want to have all the richness of their creativity at their disposal.
