List of fairy tales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fairy tales are stories that range from those originating in folk lore to more modern stories defined as
literary fairy tales. A modern definition of the fairy tale, as provided by Jens Tismar's monologue in German,
is a story that differs "from an oral folk tale"; written by "a single identifiable author"; can be characterised as
"simple and anonymous"; and exists in a mutable and difficult to define genre with a close relationship to
folktales.[1]
