The history of the fairy tale is particularly difficult to trace, because only the literary forms can survive. Still, the evidence of literary works at least indicates that Fairy Tales have existed for thousands of years, although not perhaps recognized as a genre; the name "fairy tale" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century. Many of today's fairy tales have evolved from centuries-old stories that have appeared, with variations, in multiple cultures around the world. Fairy tales, and works derived from fairy tales, are still written today.
The first fairy tale princess is difficult to pinpoint as fairy tales have been passed down through oral tradition. Some of the earliest known princesses in fairy tales include characters like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, with origins dating back to the 17th and 19th centuries.
The plural is "fairy tales" (children's stories).(If used as an adjective, the term fairy-tale should be hyphenated.)
