The twentieth century saw the development of fantasy as a popular genre for children as childhood became an increasingly protected sphere of life, and consequently, elements meant to provoke terror became increasingly insipid in literature for younger audiences. The presentation of the stories is distinctively nationalistic, illustrating a pride in nation, a pride that has brought forth “forgotten specimens of folklore.” Dawn Heerspink, in her article, No Man’s Land”: Fairy Tales, Gender, Socialization, Satire, and Trauma During the First and Second World Wars, speaks to fairy tales' intriguing duality and how they were used during wartime for adult-produced propaganda aimed at both children and adults.
