In the old stories, despite the impossibility of the incidents, the interest is always real and human. The princes and princesses fall in love and marry
nothing could be more human than that. Their lives and loves are crossed by human sorrows ...

Thus they are living in a real human world, though it wears a mythical face, though there are giants and lions in the way.
