Abstract
This paper studies Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales to examine the manner in which he has created the special genre of the fairy tales, focusing particularly on Wilde’s grammatical and syntactic choices that have helped to build up the unique Faerie Realm notion of time and space in his stories. Four tales, two each from his two different collections of fairy tales, have been analysed. At the end of the paper, any deviations from the Faerie Realm norms of operation of time and space are discussed.
