And they lived happily ever after Explanation: It's the traditional ending of a fairy tale in English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2022-08-04 20:21:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://grammarist.com/usage/fairy-tale-ending/ A fairy-tale ending is a perfect resolution to a story like one found in a fairy tale. A fairy-tale ending is usually simplistic, perfect, and often romantic, ending with the phrase: “And they lived happily ever after.” A fairy tale is a children’s story that often involves imaginary beings and fantastical events. The earliest known use of the expression fairy-tale ending is found in a weekly magazine that was published by Charles Dickens in the 1850s, known as Household Words: “I should not have been sorry to have had the old fairy-tale ending affixed to this true story, ‘And they lived together very happily for ever after’.” Note that fairy-tale ending is properly rendered with one hyphen, though it is often seen without a hyphen. |
