A Fairytale is a folklore genre, typically a short story, featuring mythical and often magical entities. These entities include dwarves, dragons , elves, fairies , giants, gnomes, goblins, griffins, mermaids , talking animals, trolls, unicorns , and witches . Fairytales often incorporate magic or enchantments and are frequently set in a medieval -inspired environment. In many cultures, fairytales, myths, and folk tales form the core of preliterate literature. Fairytales are distinct from legends, which are generally believed to be true, and moral tales, such as beast fables.

Note that many of these stories have been adapted, and their original versions may not be as popular or influential as later retellings.
