 | | The fairy tale is a sub-class of the folktale. | | | Although in the late nineteenth and twentieth century the fairy tale came to be associated with children's literature, adults were originally as likely as children to be the audience of the fairy tale. | | | Fairy tales resurfaced in literature in the 17th century, with the Neapolitan tales of Giambattista Basile and the later Contes of Charles Perrault, who fixed the forms of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. |

| | Defining the Fairy Tale |
| | By the middle of the 19th century, the fairy tale was firmly established as a subset of "children's literature," even as writers continued to produce tales of this type that appealed to a broad spectrum of ages. | | | Some writers use "folk tale" to refer to the former and "fairy tale" to the latter, but not all folk tales fall into the category of the magic tale. | | | The literary fairy tale is modelled to a greater or lesser extent on oral tales, but as a literary work, it has a more established form. |
