Introduction to Fairy Tales and Traditional Tales
People told traditional tales aloud to their children around the fire or at bedtime for a long, long time. Later some authors started to write down some of the stories. One famous French author was Charles Perrault. He is famous because he wrote his stories down so that people could enjoy them for a long time and added some extra details.
Features
In stories such as these you will often find...
- They start with once upon a time… or Long age....
- They often have characters such as kings or queens
