Folk tales and fairy tales were stories passed down orally from grandparents to children long ago. They often featured good children overcoming problems and finding solutions. Authors like the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault later published many of these stories into books that became popular children's literature. They featured well-known characters like Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty who faced adversity but dreamed of better lives. Royal figures today look very different than the princes and princesses described in classic folk tales and fairy tales.
