History of National Tell A Fairy Tale Day
The sharing of magical, otherworldly stories is a tale as old as time. While the term โfairy taleโ was coined in 1697 by Madame dโAulnoy (conte de fรฉes in her native French), itโs likely that some fairy tales originated as early as the bronze age over 6,000 years ago. And for most of history, fairy tales have been passed on not in written form but via the oral tradition, with each generation telling and dramatizing stories to the next.
