go in the European Union before you hit the guard towers of the Russian
border [...]

Read the text below:
There is no such thing as the fairy tale; however, there are hundreds of
thousands of fairy tales. And these fairy tales have been defined in so
many different ways that it boggles the mind to think that they can be
categorized as a genre. In fact, the confusion is so great that most literary
critics continually confound the oral folk tale with the literary fairy tale and
vice versa. Some even argue, to the dismay of folklorists, that we might as
well label any text or narrative that calls itself and is called a fairy tale as
such SINCE THE AVERAGE READER IS NOT AWARE OF THE DISTINCTION
A
B
C
D
E
BETWEEN THE ORAL AND LITERARY TRADITIONS or even cares about it.
Why should we bother with distinctions if very few people necessarily want
them? There is even a strong general tendency among many readers in the
West to resist defining the fairy tale. It is as though one should not tamper
with sacred material. Whenever people dissect the fairy tale, they might
destroy its magic, and it appears that this magic has something to do with
the blessed realm of childhood and innocence. On the other hand, almost
every reader of fairy tales, young and old, is curious about their magic.
Mystery is what endows fairy tales with such enchantment...

2002)
