About this ebook
Tales of fairies, animals, birds, and witchcraft fall into this category. The word "fairy" has a historical-cultural context. The meaning and characterization of "fairy" have changed over time. The form of this word is found in the early texts, but the context changes completely in later texts. The roots of the word "fairy" are so deep in the culture of Persia that only on this subject an independent book can be composed.
The first mention of the word "fairy" in any literary work appears in the "Shahnama" of Firdausi. Firdausi not only uses this word but also presents the readers with a new character by cutting "fairy" from its historical context. With his original imagination, he even changes the context of this story. As a result, a positive attitude towards the fairies appears to have formed. Fairy tales at their core assure the victory of good amid the struggle between good and evil, which has been later embellished by poets, storytellers, and historians in their respective talents. The presence of a demon in fairy tales is not as important as the belief that it can be defeated.
