Fairy Tale or Story Book Eggs

Why are stories called fairy tales that don't have anything to do with fairies?  The French tales (written largely by women) were called "contes de fees."'  This translated into English as "'fairy tales"' and became widely used, even to the point of describing the tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson.  The art you are going to see on the next few pages cover a variety of tales, some old and some new that are destined to become classics.  We hope that you will enjoy the work of the artists represented below as much as you enjoyed the stories.
