Fables
Fairy Tales
Folktales
Legends
Myths
Tall Tales
Epics
Nursery Rhymes

Features

Short plots
Details omitted (sparse language)
Action concentrated
One-dimensional "flat" characters - good or evil
Good versus evil
Stock beginnings ("Once upon a time") and endings ("and they lived happily ever after.")
Theme = a moral or a lesson

Dr. M. does not agree with your textbook. Settings DO matter in traditional literature. The setting is an important aspect of the cultural information embedded in these stories.
