The Elements of a Fairy Tale
What is it that makes a story a fairy tale?
As with folktales, fairy tales have an oral tradition,
and they usually take place "long ago."
There are several elements present in most of these stories,
however, that identify them as part of the genre of fairy tales:
* Special beginning and/or ending words - Once upon a time...and they lived happily ever after.
* Good character
* Evil character
* Royalty and/or a castle usually present
* Magic happens
* Problem and a Solution
* Things often happen in "threes" or "sevens"
