Fairy tales and folklore are the stories that all children grow up reading; all the legends, myths, and fantastical musings about woodland creatures, daring princes, and granted wishes.

I think everyone has a fairy tale story that has meaning to them – the one that was their favourite when they were growing up.

These stories also have so much value and potential for writers and other artists because they have a greater meaning. Fairy tales are great for creative writing in so many different ways.
