There are aspects of tales that we take for granted, but which we could examine to our profit. One source of tales is the Bible, which once everyone knew, but now only a few people. Until recently - let's say until the Second World War -people went to church on Sundays and heard there some of the most glorious prose ever written in English, in the King James Bible. Every Sunday and often in between too. This as it were unofficial or parallel education was classless: princes and paupers, labourers and farmers and lords and ladies, sat in those pews and heard language which fed into the prose of writers, some of them fine writers, others not, for you may hear the rhythms of the Bible running in poor writers' language as well as in good ones.
