As you can tell, what we call "Fairy Tales" covers a lot of literary ground. Some Fables are intended for older students and adults because they pose complex ethical questions, employ ironic twists, or are cautionary tales with elements of Gothic Horror. A Fable offers a moral lesson, usually involving animals and primarily geared towards children, such as Aesop's Fables. A Folk Tale is a traditional story shared by a culture, passed on from one generation to the next. Folk Tales and Fables are types of Fairy Tales. They differ from Science Fiction, which usually occurs in the future and involves newfangled technologies, space and time travel (again, far from home). Fairy Tales tend to occur near home ( Little Red Riding Hood was walking distance from her grandmother). They often feature magic or enchantments, but are unlike modern Fantasy, in which new worlds are created far from home (works by J.R.R. Some begin with "Once upon a time" and end with "and they lived happily ever after, THE END" but not always. Most Fairy Tales occur in the past, usually close to home. How are Fairy Tales different from Fantasy and Science Fiction? Uncle Tom's Cabin - Harriet Beecher Stowe.The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett.The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane.The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne.
