fairy tale
story involving fantastic forces and beings (fairies, witches, etc.); imaginary or incredible story created to mislead others
Fairy tale
A fairy tale or fairy story is a fictional
story that usually features
folkloric characters (such as
fairies,
goblins,
elves,
trolls,
witches,
giants, and
talking animals) and
enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. In modern-day parlance, the term is also used to describe to something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy tale ending" (a
happy ending) or "fairy tale romance", though there are notable examples and genres of fairy tales that do not end happily. Colloquially, a "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story.
