Fairy tales have their sources from fairy tales' origins

Fairy Tales' origins Most fairy tales would fall short of today's requirements. They told unintellly stories and were likely to be rated as inappropriate for children. The time is much like ghost stories around a campfire today, with fairy tales told in such rich detail to make children behave, teach a lesson, or pass the time.

Many of the stories have some truth to them. Some believe Margarete von Waldeck, the daughter of the 16th century Count of Waldeck, inspired Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Count of Waldeck, for example. Mining in the area where the family lived in Germany was known for mining. Tunnels were so crowded that they had to use children – or small people such as dwarfs – to work the mines.

Margarete's beauty is well documented, and her stepmother sent her away, and her stepmother sent her away. Margarete also fell in love with a prince but died before she could have her happily ever after.

With fictional characters like fairies, giants, mermaids, and gnomes, as the stories progressed, they took on a more magical quality, as well as gruesome story plots.

Toes cut off to fit into a slipper, a wooden boy killing his cricket, or, rather than kissing the frog prince his head must be cut off, but those are the unrated versions.

One of the stories they collected is Rumpelstiltskin. Many other versions exist, and the little guy had many different names around Europe, and he was described as many assorted characters. Rumplestiltskin's history is difficult for historians to recognize him from Trit-a-trot in Ireland to Whuppity Stoorie in Scotland.

Although some storytellers have a long and often ancient history, such as Aesop (The Fox and the Grasshopper, The Ant and the Grasshopper), some are more recent, such as the Grimm brothers.

Among the Princess and the Pea, The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, and many more were written versions by Hans Christian Andersen. First published in 1829, Hans Christian Andersen brought us written versions of the Princess and the Pea, The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, and many more. Andersen's tales are sweet and warm, with a darker cast and unmistakably written with adults in mind. Where Grimm's tales could take on a darker cast and unmistakably written with adults in mind.
