| | Defining the Fairy Tale |
| | 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. | | | Characteristics of literary fairy tales, as opposed to folk tales, may include individualized characters with a more developed personality, more specific and detailed description of individuals and settings, and the elimination of much repetition as distracting from the flow of the story. | | | 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. |

| | Tall tale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The tall tale is a fundamental element of American folk literature. | | | A tall tale is a story that claims to explain the reason for some natural phenomenon, or sometimes illustrates how skilled/intelligent/powerful the subject of the tale was. | | | The tall tale's origins are seen in the bragging contests that often occurred when the rough men of the American frontier gathered. |

| | fairy-tale - encyclopedia article about fairy-tale. |
| | The fairy tale is a sub-class of the folktale. | | | Their role ranges from fiendish giants &; similar to the ogres of English fairy tales – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills or mounds, inclined to thieving and the abduction of humans which, in the case of infant abductees, was substituted with a changeling. | | | 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. |

| | Scholastic Canada: Books and Authors |
| | In traditional folk or fairy tales, the characters usually do not change throughout the story, and the power of the story is not in character development so much as in imagery, symbols, language, plot, conflicts, theme or setting. | | | Clockwork begins with the traditional folk tale opening "Once upon a time," and ends with the words "So they both lived happily ever after...." What other elements of a folk tale are present in this novel? | | | Think about the setting (nonspecific), the characters (static rather than dynamic), an unlikely hero (or in this case heroine), and the classic battle of good versus evil. |

| | Chaucer--Friar |
| | Friars and summoners both circulated freely among the folk, and therefore they had plenty of opportunity of becoming "rusted" (or "shitten") as the Pilgrim-Parson would say (I.500, 504). | | | 2) Since this tale follows the pattern of a well-known folk tale, the Friar's tale-telling strategy has to depend on capturing the characters of his "erchedeken,' "summoner" and "feende" as economically and tellingly as possible. | | | Also, this is not terribly bad advice for a medieval Christian--could the Friar be serving a moral purpose in his sermonic scourging of the Summoner, even if the Friar is, himself, a sinful man? This was a problem that worried medieval Christians, too. |

| | There is a Finnish folk tale about a too-talkative magpie that informed a man he would die in 24 hours. | | | This tale I found in Great Swedish Fairy Tales Illustrated by John Bauer, translated by Holger Lundbergh illustrates those values.It is interesting to contrast the ambitions of the boy with that of the magpie. | | | But he would have to wish quickly, while the salt was still on the bird's tale, else it would be no use. |
