Fairy tales are stories that range from those originating in folk lore to more modern stories defined as literary fairy tales .. A modern definition of the fairy tale , as provided by Jens Tismar 's monologue in German , is a story that differs `` from an oral folk tale '' ; written by `` a single identifiable author '' ; can be characterised as `` simple and anonymous '' ; and exists in a mutable and difficult to define genre with a close relationship to folktales .
