Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales usually involves a moral at the end of the story and is particulary popular with children aged 2-7. In many fairy tales there is usually an evil figure and also "the good person". Fairy tales are thought to have originated throughout mainly the Victorian times, but also from other time periods of history.

Noteable authors include the brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Charles Perrault.
