All About History: History of Folklore, Fairytales and Monsters (2019)
English | 132 pages | HQ True PDF | 289 mb


Fairytales, said GK Chesterton, are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten. The problem is, famously, that Chesterton never said that; Neil Gaiman merely claimed that he did. It made for a good story. And that’s exactly how folklore and fairytales work: the basic germ of an idea is built and rebuilt by storytellers and societies over and over again according to the needs and wants of their community, ever-changing and yet ever the same. Find out how and why archaic lore is so important to us, explore ancient stories and old adages, learn about how folklore is collected and preserved, and how what you think you know about our most well-loved tales is by no means the whole story, as we journey into the magical land of “Once upon a time...”
