摘要：Handed down endlessly throughout time from generations to generations, from parents or grandparents to their children, fairy tales belong thus to oral traditions within a certain culture or civilization. Therefore, one of the most important identifying features of fairy tales is their cultural background, where old traditions, myths and folklore are embedded, mingling together in the history of peoples and countries both fantasy and reality. Fairy tales are imaginative insights into the most genuine realms of human experience.
