Fairy tales have always been regarded as the province of children. According to Jack Zipes, one of the foremost contemporary fairy tales scholars, this assumption is the furthest from the truth. Children have never been the real target audience of fairy tales. Fairy tales were created and cultivated thousands of years ago by mature men and women to create communal bonds in the face of inexplicable forces of nature ,and in the present they provide hope in a world seemingly on the brink of catastrophe.It is incredibly difficult to define fairy tales due to the lack of an exact definition of them , in fact, they are easier to illustrate than to defineas if they resist definition .Indeed ,Jack Zipes argues that there is a strong general tendency among many readers in the West to resist defining the fairy tale, as if no one should tamper with sacred material as by defining the fairy tale. One might destroy its magic, and it appears that this magic has something to do with the blessed realm of childhood and innocence.Zipes also states that the definition of the fairy tales depends on the manner in which a narrator/ author arranges known functions of a tale aesthetically and ideologically to induce wonder and then transmits the tale as a whole according to customary usage of a society in a given historical period
