 INTRODUCTION  Welcome to the magical world of fairy tales. This is a genre of stories that includes mystical characters like goblins and beautiful princesses, mythical animals and creatures that can help you along your journey, and of course fairy tales have a happy ending.

You may have seen Walt Disney’s variations of The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Cinderella or Snow White. These will help your imagination sore when completing this enchanted task.

Popular fairy tales actually came from old folk stories that originated around the 17th century France and 19th century Germany.
