Symbols and Meanings in the Story of Bluebeard
No, DerdriuMarriner, I don't have any knowledge about that. Christianity, in general, doesn't take fairy tales too seriously. They are treated as 'just stories for kids' in most cases. Symbolism is more deeply explored by psychologists.

How to earn money with writing fairy tales for kids?
Yes, DerdriuMarriner, modern versions explore classic fairy tales with new twists, different perspectives, etc. Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, and Jane Yolen are typical authorities in this field.

When and for how long will the garden be ready for viewing?

Tree Stories: a Review
The second paragraph in your first subheading, Roots of an obsession, mentions Professor Henri's "book-lined flat with its thousands of volumes."

A Tree Sacred and Deadly
The first paragraph under your third subheading, Uses of yew, caused, with its reference to longbows, me to ponder something I read in a historical fiction book about King Richard I.
