I’m glad you enjoyed this. The first is the opening of The Adventures of Covan the Brown-Haired, you can find it in the Orange Fairy Book online. The second is one of the traditional openings to many Polish tales and the third is one of several traditional openings to Arabic tales.
Loved the opening fairytale lines! These are my favorites:
“On the shores of the west, where the great hills stand with their feet in the sea,”
“Long, long ago, beyond seven mountains, beyond seven forests”
“This happened or maybe it did not. The time is long past and much is forgot”
Could you tell me the stories they’re from?
