Abstract	The power of fairy tales resonates with children around the world. Fairy tales connect children on an emotional level that can help guide them through the complexities of everyday life. The tales provide stories rich in cultural heritage and the human condition, stories that not only delight children but also instruct. Because fairy tales state problems briefly and the characters are simple, children can understand them. Fairy tales present characters who are good and bad. Children identify with the good and reject the bad. Fairy tales bring order to the world and help children understand themselves better. Increased awareness of the value of fairy tales could result in a resurgence of interest in reading. The rediscovery of age-old tales filled with emotion and meaning can once again enrich the lives of children. (ERIC).
