Fairytales matter because they are usually amongst the earliest forms of story we all come across, They're usually the stories we have read most often to us as youngsters. As a result they are the stories we remember most.
Fairytales go back centuries. Hans Christen Andersen was a genius because he didn't just compile fairy stories based on folk lore and myths, he went on to write his own. It is also thanks to Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm we have so many of the classic tales written down as we now know the stories.
Fairytales can be adapted. They can be spoofed. They can form the base of longer, more dramatic stories. They can be dark or light. And I love them because, unlike life, justice will prevail in some form.
