摘要
Our culture has a rich history of fairy tales, folklore and literature. These have all served a purpose, often to entertain, but also to moralise. Authors have often included interesting characters with identifiable medical conditions or described interesting characters that lend their names to conditions we can identify today. This paper looks at the medical conditions found in fairy tales, folklore and literature.
