Summary/Abstract: The literature can be used as a means of teaching during History lessons. It illustrates different kinds of facts and events from the past and helps to create problem situations which require searching for solution. In conjunction with the active teaching methods, it helps in the independent inquiry into knowledge. Fairy tales could be analysed during teaching History and Society in the secondary school. They contain the image and experience of the past pointing to the typical practice of the era. In addition, the information on how children were brought up and how the adult character was tried to be shaped allows in a good way to trace ideals and goals which were pursued.
