There was, oh what there was (or there wasn't) in the oldest of days and ages and times. (It is a way of saying tell me a story for the one I have told you.) The "story-starting phrase" is a common feature of many languages. The phrase is also used in retellings of myths, fables and folklore. It was used in the original translations of the stories of Charles Perrault as a translation for the French " il était une fois", of Hans Christian Andersen as a translation for the Danish " der var engang", (literally "there was once"), the Brothers Grimm as a translation for the German " es war einmal" (literally "it was once") and Joseph Jacobs in English translations and fairy tales. The phrase is common in fairy tales for younger children. These stories sometimes end with "and they all lived happily ever after", or, originally, "happily until their deaths". It has been used in some form since at least 1380 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary) in storytelling in the English language and has started many narratives since 1600. "Once upon a time" is a stock phrase used to introduce a narrative of past events, typically in fairy tales and folk tales. Frontispiece to The How and Why Library, 1909 Overall, Once Upon a Time is a fun journey that will have you rooting for underdogs, cheering for true love, and embracing a world that's as clever as it is enchanting.This article is about the stock phrase. It does, however, promise a fun experience for older viewers craving something outside the repetitive realm of sitcoms, dramas, and reality shows. The constant plot twists and the characters' unpredictable motivations can be worrisome, too. It's dark, intense, occasionally sexy, and at times too violent for younger kids. This isn't your kids' fairy tale collection, however, nor is it a suitable bedtime story for little ones. Purists might take issue with this aspect of the show, but the formula allows for creative plot lines to drive the show through its seven seasons. The story takes generous liberties with the content of the original narratives in order to allow viewers to engage with them in exciting new ways. Once Upon a Time brings together a wide range of favorite characters, including stand-bys like Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory), Peter Pan ( Robbie Kay), and Rumpelstiltskin ( Robert Carlyle) and more contemporary characters like Merida (Amy Manson) and Princess Elsa (Georgina Haig).
