Document Summary
Ideas introduced by the author of lord of the rings- wrote an article on fairy stories. He"s notion of what they are, and what fantastic literature is a suggestion is there a central connection between fairy tales and children? to what degree is that connection mandatory (children is the audience for fairy tales). He points out that not all children are the same. Whether we talk about the developmental or not, the reality is not all are the same, but they have the lack of experience in common. So if there"s a story that can be useful for the child, it will be a way to handle that lack of experience. We know that these stories are connect but we don"t know how. We do know about the history of the written history of these stories. The reason why fairy tales become of childrens literarure is an accident.
