The Evolution of Fairytales
O nce Upon a Time, in a land far away, is the beginning of many stories that we now know as Fairytales. These are stories passed down through the centuries. They have been adapted through the ages from oral tradition to written works by numerous sources. Some of the most well-known names begin with Charles Perrault ’s Mother Goose Tales , then came the Brothers Grimm’s Children’s and Household Tales , and then eventually this type of story was called “fairy-tales” by Hans Christian Anderson .
