Children are able to enjoy stories almost as soon as they are able to talk.
And not simply listening to stories. Children make up reasonably good stories
when they are still quite young. One has only to observe children to see how
naturally human beings come to use the medium of fiction. One is also
impressed by the degree of reality stories possess for children. At the start
they are completely real. It is the capacity to distinguish between fiction and
reality which must be acquired.
