Fairy tale: (n.) a tale about fairies; a tale set in fairyland. Our folk tales and our legends. Our fables and our parables. Derived from oral stories of the ancient past, fairytales pervade every culture, every continent. They express our most primitive fears, and our most childish dreams. They teach lessons to the young; they bring us the wisdom of the old. They paint a picture of the idealized, beautiful, mystical, other-world. What is hiding in the unseen corner? Under the trees and beyond the veil? Where do the fairies live? What marvelous tasks are left for us to complete? Can we still have magic, princesses and saviors? Are there such things as happy endings?
