For most, the first stories we ever heard were at bedtime being told or read fairytales from our parents. These were our first introduction into the world of literature. I think so many people don't consider these stories works of literature but in fact they are.
Now of course we often hear different versions of the stories than their original form. This is especially true when it comes to stories that were originally found in the Grimm's fairy tales and quite often, Disney.
Though fairytales might have been altered in order not to give us nightmares, their actual works of literature are really intriguing and fun to discover and hear. And sorry to say, they usually don't end Happily Ever After...
I will be dedicating some posts directly to unraveling the true stories behind many of these fairytales in
FAIRYTALES UNLOCKED.
I will also, where I can, show how they have influenced art, film, etc
I hope you enjoy :)
