You might think you grew out of stories with handsome heroes and pretty princesses.
However, the moral messages behind many of these tales provide important life lessons.
Should you help someone in need? Yes, often a good deed comes back around.
Should you act on feelings of anger or jealousy? No, most likely it won’t end well.
Fairy tales created a way to impart wisdom on children in a fun yet educational way.

For instance, you shouldn’t go into the woods alone as there are wolves who like to eat solo travellers.
You also shouldn’t accept sweets from strangers, they may turn out to be witches who want to eat you.
Tale as old as time
The term “fairy tale” was coined by 17th century French writer Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, countess d’Aulnoy, when she released Les Contes des Fées (fairy tales) in 1697.
The countess published 25 stories in total, most of which had characters who were fairies.

Brothers Grimm
Probably the most famous fairy tale authors, Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, published their first collection of fairy tales, Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales) in 1812.
They wanted to preserve traditional folklore when oral storytelling was becoming unpopular.
More volumes were published, amalgamating in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, which contains just over 200 stories.

Hans Christian Andersen
The other main source of the fairy tales still told today is Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales.
Andersen began publishing fairy tales in 1835 with Fairy Tales Told for Children.
WHICH GOGGLEBOX FAMILY IS YOUR FAVOURITE?
He eventually published 168 tales in total. Andersen’s collection includes:
- The Little Mermaid
- Thumbelina
- Ugly Duckling
Not-so-happily ever after
Fairy tales have had to change a lot since they were first told.
For instance, the original endings to some of the classic fairy tales would be considered far too gruesome today.
In the original Cinderella, the stepsisters chopped off bits of their feet to make them fit into the glass slipper.
