| | Fairy tale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Fables, Folklore and Fairy Stories |
| | 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 from the fables, folklore and fairy stories which our ancestors carried with them to every part of the globe we have received a great inheritance from mankind's own past and, as we have seen, in that heritage the wolf played a very prominent role. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | The stories are not the run-of-the-mill fairy tales -- this book is a great addition to any library. | | | Some of the stories are familiar, some are not, but all have been translated with great care and love; this is immediately evident when you read even the familiar ones like Sleeping Beauty and realize that the details are a little different from the typical sanguine, Disneyfied versions you commonly see. | | | All this changes after she befriends one fairy boy, who later turns out to be the Prince; and after Fia bravely journeys to the Troll's cave to rescue all the other fairies, who have been captured by the Troll so that he might cut off their wings for his collection. |

| | 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 essay on Fairy Stories is long-winded and cryptic if you haven't read all his references. | | | The Tolkein Reader contains "Farmer Giles of Ham" a fun story about Farmer Giles, a man not inclined to heroism who captures a dragon of emperial lineage, "Tree and Leaf" with Tolkein's essay on fairy stories and the delightful story "Leaf by Niggle". | | | "Fairy Stories," on the other hand, is one of the best-known essays on fantasy works and should be shoved in the face of anyone who denies fantasy's literary worth. |

| | The Effect of Fairy Stories |
| | I have known some parents who would not use Mother Goose or fairy stories with their children, but substituted therefor amusing experiments in physics,the metamorphosis of insects and the classification of plants according to their differences. | | | 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. |
