Fairy Tale Dolls

by Abbott from 12 Dancing Princesses
       A fairy tale doll is modeled after folklore genre that takes the form of a short story. Such stories typically feature fantasy entities such as:

  • dwarfs or gnomes, elves and giants
  • fairies, fairy god mothers and witches
  • goblins and trolls
  • griffins, unicorns and dragons
  • mermaids or talking sea creatures
  • talking animals 
  • magic or enchantments 
       In most cultures, there is no clear line separating folk tales or fairy tales; all these together form the literature of preliterate societies. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicit moral tales, including beast fables. Most cultures whether literate or not, craft dolls that are often characters from fairy tales.
