Abstract
But not in this story!
Once upon a time, in a land near by, there were fairy tales. Brave princes slew dragons and saved fair damsels. Princesses and scullery maids waited for brave knights and true love. The good were pretty, the evil ugly, the morals absolute. And lo, it was good.
(“Is Shrek Bad for Kids?,” 2007)
