This manuscript is a social science fund project with excellent results. The main content of the manuscript includes two complementary parts: a history of the development of British fairy tale novels since modern times, an introduction, and a monograph on specific writers' works and important creative phenomena. This manuscript is the first to comprehensively examine the phenomenon of modern and contemporary British fairy tale novels from the perspective of Chinese scholars. It not only provides a macroscopic review of the development history of British fairy tale novels, but also provides a specific analysis of the works of representative writers and important creative phenomena. When elaborating on the background of the rise of British fairy tale novels in the Victorian era, the manuscript not only comprehensively describes the glorious achievements, social changes, ideological turmoil, and new social contradictions of the British Victorian era (the most important material achievements and the most profound social impact of the British Industrial Revolution occurred in the Victorian period), but also objectively points out important facts that have been deliberately concealed or avoided by British and even Western historiography and literary history: During the Victorian period, Britain pursued its own interests and did not hesitate to engage in opium trade and even opium wars that harmed the Chinese nation. This manuscript fills the gap in the domestic research field on the development history of British fairy tale literature; breaks through the narrow view of fairy tale literature, examines the creation of British fairy tale novels with world influence in the context of social history, culture and children's literature, and broadens the disciplinary connotation and research level of foreign literature research in domestic academic circles.
