The Little Friends of Stories: To Sleep While Listening to Parents

Meer over het boek

The word fairy designates both a narrative of imaginary facts or adventures1 and the literary genre (above all oral) that relates the said stories. The story, as a story, can be short but also long. Whether it is to distract or edify, it carries with it a powerful emotional or philosophical force. Since the Renaissance, tales have been rewritten, giving rise over the centuries to a genre written in its own right. However, it is distinct from the novel, the news and the story of adventures by the acceptance of the improbability.
