The Ukrainian fairy tale is one of the oldest types of literary creativity of the people. It has existed and been passed down from generation to generation for more than one hundred years. Despite this, the Ukrainian fairy tale is still relevant and popular with readers of any age.
But a folk tale is not just an interesting entertaining story. Sometimes, even the most simple story carries a deep meaning. Fairy tales educate the younger generation, instilling in children love for their native land, the desire for truth and justice, and respect for elders. Therefore, children need to read Ukrainian fairy tales, starting from a very young age.
Folk tales are also interesting for adults. They carry a historical and philosophical component. Passing through the centuries, a fairy tale, like a sponge, absorbs the features of a particular period of time and region, with the help of it you can learn a lot about the life of the Ukrainian people, their way of life, traditions, worldview.
The Ukrainian fairy tale has its own characteristics that distinguish it even from close Russian and Belarusian fairy tales. First of all, it is a high allegory of images. Very often, the heroes of fairy tales are animals that have human speech and all other abilities. A striking example is the tale of the cockerel and harmful mice, where in the images of lazy mice it is very easy to recognize the character traits inherent in many people.
Ukrainian fairy tales are distinguished by vivid images, expressive speech, and a variety of plots. Reading them is always interesting. Whether it's a fairy tale with fantastic elements and magic, or a plot close to real life, it captivates the reader or listener from beginning to end.
