About Fairy Tales

The stars of many fairy tales are supernatural beings called fairies. Fairies usually take human form, but they can also fly. They have magic powers and generally act kindly toward human beings, like Cinderella’s fairy godmother.

Fairy tales may have elves, goblins, gremlins, brownies, pixies, or other unusual beings instead of fairies. The stories may feature such creatures as witches and talking animals like the wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood.”

Some fairy tales, like “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” have none of these creatures. But they contain many other characteristics of traditional fairy tales.

Although in today's modern society, fairy tales often are told to children and might include a moralistic stance or warning against dangers, they began as chiefly oral stories passed from generation to generation
