rce with the wonder world.
To turn now from the inner to the outer aspects of the old-time tale is
to meet another cause of its value to children. This is the value of its style.
Simplicitydirectnessand virility characterise the classic fairy tales and
the most memorable relics of folklore. And these are three of the very
qualities which are most seriously lacking in much of the new writing for
childrenand which are always necessary elements in the culture of taste.
Fairy stories are not all well toldbut the best fairy stories are supremely
well told. And most folk-tales have a movementa sweepand an
unaffectedness which make them splendid foundations for taste in style.
For thisand for poetic presentation of truths in easily assimilated form
and because it gives joyous stimulus to the imaginationand is necessary
to full appreciation of adult literaturewe may freely use the wonder tale.
