| | Fairy tale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Sometimes fairy tales are simply miraculous entertainments, but often they are disguised morality tales. |

| | In all these fairy stories the same themes appear over and over again though in some versions we begin to see the wolf portrayed as being more misunderstood by humans rather than as the epitome of evil as it has been depicted for so long. | | | And the well known German fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hamelin", recorded in English by Robert Browning in the poem of the same name, is said to have its origin in the Children's Crusade of 1212, when bands of children from all over Europe set out to rescue the Holy Sepulchre from the heathen. | | | In the 10th century a Latin poem Ecbasis Captivi relates the story of a monk of St. Eure in Lorraine who escapes from a monastery and who tells the tale of a runaway calf who was caught by a wolf. |

| | Tolkien on Fairy Tales |
| | In Tolkien's discussion of the fairy story, he posits “rules” for the tale, which depend not on the use to which the story is put, but on the way the world of Faërie is presented: “one thing must not be made fun of, the magic itself. | | | Tolkien connects his concept of fairy tales to Christian theology (Tolkien was a deeply religious Catholic) by stating that the greatest eucatastrophe is the resurrection. | | | fairy-stories are not in normal English usage stories about fairies or elves, but stories about Fairy, that is Faërie, the realm or state in which fairies have their being. |

| | EYEWITNESSES of Fairy Tale Stories? |
| | Now we all know Jesus made use of parables to teach, so he made up stories or you can call it fairy tales, if you wish, for "fairy tale" is also defined as "imaginary/legendary stories". | | | It is especially wonderful when you can tell your children a "fairy tale" from the Bible, even they can then understand the meaning, rather than high-faluted English which no-one understands. | | | I can therefore conclude that, especially the New Testament, is full of fables and fairy tales, which I love reading, because the lessons we are taught are so valuable. |

| | dr_c: Tolkein on Fairy Stories |
| | I've never thought of a fairy tale (or story, I'm not sure from what you've written whether or not you consider them to be different) in that way. | | | This is interesting, concerning that Tolkein's own best-selling works keep the Men (strictly speaking) a bit off to the side; the stories are primarily "concerning Hobbits," who would seem to fit the same category as his "elves and fairies" in the remark just quoted. | | | Last Saturday's entry here, though, got me thinking about the nature of "fairy tales" again, however, and so I think I'm catching more of the ideas this time. |

| | Excerpts--On Fairy Stories, by Tolkien |
| | The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending: or more correctly of the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous 'turn' (for there is no true end to any fairy tale): this joy, which is one of the things which fairy-stories can produce supremely well, is not essentially 'escapist', nor 'fugitive'. | | | The eucatastrophic tale is the true form of fairy-tale, and its highest function. | | | The 'consolation' of fairy-tales has another aspect than the imaginative satisfaction of ancient desires. |

| | The Effect of Fairy Stories |
| | We all know how children are waked up and delighted by Mother Goose absurdities, and still more by fairy stories that seem to set at naught the facts and override the laws of nature. | | | This will chasten and give substantiality to the creative action of the human fancy, which is never to be snubbed, but gently entreated to be reasonable, or we shall have Caliban instead of Ariel or Prospero. | | | But I have known intimately some other parents, who made predominant perhaps extreme use of Mother Goose and fairy literature. |
