Download or read book Timeless Magical Fairy Tales written by Hseham Amrahs and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first mention of the word "fairy" in any literary work appears in the "Shahnama" of Firdausi. Firdausi not only uses this word but also presents the readers with a new character by cutting "fairy" from its historical context. With his original imagination, he even changes the context of this story. As a result, a positive attitude towards the fairies appears to have formed. Fairy tales at their core assure the victory of good amid the struggle between good and evil, which has been later embellished by poets, storytellers, and historians in their respective talents. The presence of a demon in fairy tales is not as important as the belief that it can be defeated.
