What is the timeless appeal of romantic fairy tales?

Asked by beachwriter (361points) October 4th, 2009

No matter how politically correct we are, kids always seem drawn to the classic fairy tales—stories of damsels in distress and the heroes who rescue them. We read to our daughters about enlightened princesses who don’t need a prince, but in the end, the story they love best is always Cinderella. Why do you suppose that is?
