RT Article T1 Capture the Unexpressed: Anecdote as a Device in Hermeneutic Phenomenological Research JF The Indo-Pacific journal of phenomenology VO 11 IS 1 SP 1 OP 9 A1 Eilifsen, Margareth LA English PB Rhodes University YR 2011 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1786278472 AB I sit on the edge of the bed of my youngest daughter and read the fairy tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. My little four-year-old daughter has heard this story thousands of times and simply loves it. In my eagerness to create a good story and a good setting I add some personal description to the story. Then she who is thrilled with the story makes a strange face and corrects my telling: "No, mama, it is not like that. You have to tell the truth". DO 10.2989/IPJP.2011.11.1.7.1106
