长大后，或许我们都不再相信童话里那会变成青蛙的王子、穿着靴子说话的猫，也不相信勇敢的白马王子总能牵到美丽公主的纤纤玉手。正因如此，我们才更需要童话。童话无边无际的想象和童真，呈现着人类灵魂中最诚实、善良的东西，让我们在光怪陆离的社会中寻得一处静谧和希望的开始…… By Carrie Wells “If you can see the magic in a fairytale, you can face the future.” —Danielle Steel Who have not read fairytales? We all have had the experience of reveling in the beauty and innocence of fairytales. May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty... fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever traveled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories? Well, if not, then here are some mystical finds I discovered when I undertook this journey. A fairytale or fairy story is a fictional tale that usually features folkloric characters (such as fairies, talking animals) and enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. A fairytale often stars transformed princes, princesses, animals, as in “fairytale ending” where the humble but heroic princes defeat the wicked enemies or as in “fairytale romance” where after much ado the beautiful princesses marry their Prince Charming. One distinct feature of fairytales is that, they take place “once upon a time”. |
