The term fairy tale mostly relates to older European stories that focus on children's themes.
What was your favorite fairy tale grown up ? Fairy tales do have such a rich history, probably dating back to centuries lol
My favorite was probably Jack and the Beanstalk, where magic is present. What are some of yours?
Hansel and Gretel is among one of mine.  You have to have quite the imagination to write a fairy tale !
I agree! Apparently they can be distinguished from legends in their looser sense of realism.
