When I was a kid, I used to really enjoy fairy tales stories.
Me to!  A fairy tale is a type of short story that typically features folkloric fantasy characters, such as dwarfs, dragons, elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, griffins, mermaids, talking animals, trolls, unicorns, or witches, and usually magic or enchantments, which are things I enjoy reading about
My favorite type of fairy tale were ones including dragons, giants, and other mythical beasts. What did you like?
Witches, Dragons, and so much more.  Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables; which are awesome
Folk narratives while educational were not my favorite. But ones that delved into fantasies were very fun to listen to.
THanks for the great info!  Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables!!!
A lot of fairy tales have ended up having live or animated film adaptions. Did you like any new movies or tv shows?
Have you ever watched the show Once upon a time? Even after printing became widespread, many classic "children's" tales were originally created for adults and later adapted for a younger audience, which is an interesting fact
Oh I have! I watched Once Upon a Time before hearing about the fairy tale drawn upon it. I really liked the movie so I researched the backstories to learn more about its origins.
The development of early children's literature, before printing was invented, is difficult to trace, which is odd to me
