A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are . I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story . Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once .Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered .
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed drogons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girlfriend.
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has ever believed that it was.
