Are you a fan of fairytales? Whether your love spans back to your childhood or is more newly discovered, there’s something magical about falling into a world peppered with all things magical. Fairytales are globe-spanning, offering stories from across the world and across cultures. There is a rich academic and hobbyist enthusiasm for this genre, with each impassioned fairytale lover taking slightly divergent perspectives about when and where the stories emerged, but one thing everyone agrees on is that fairytales emerged from oral storytelling well before being written and what sets fairytales apart from folklore, mythology, and other similar genres is that there is little to no reference to real places (thus the reason so many begin with “Once upon at time”).
Whatever brings you to fairytales, chances are you celebrate all things wonder. Fairytales invite imagination, encouraging readers and story tellers to let their minds take them to destinations unknown. It’s no wonder fairytales take forms through child play places to well-known theme parks, and are retold again and again.
If you believe in all things fairytales, then you’ll want to get your paws on some of these rad fairy tale goods. Most of these will be focused on well-known western fairy tales, but know that there is a rich tapestry of fairytales worldwide.
