TD Gallery, Main Level, Toronto Reference Library Explore items from the exhibit in our Digital Archive. About the ExhibitToronto Public Library is pleased to present Once Upon a Time, an enchanting exhibit celebrating our best-loved folk and fairy tales. A little girl wanders from the safe path on a trip through the woods. A boy sells the family cow for some magic beans. A mistreated girl yearns to go to the ball. A youngest son inherits a talking cat. These simple, yet powerful tales are among our best-known and best-loved stories. Fairy tales are stories of spells, journeys, tests, riddles, dangers and (usually) happy endings. They speak to our innermost hopes, dreams and fears. Endlessly re-imagined in literature, film, television, and performance, fairy tales continue to have a profound influence on our culture. This exhibit explores classic fairy tales and traditional stories from around the world through a surprising array of books, toys, games and art held at the library's Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books.
