Answer
Saxo cognomine Longus did not write fairy tales. He was a historian, not a writer of fiction. His work, Gesta Danorum, is a chronicle of Danish history from the legendary founding of the kingdom by the semi-mythical figure of Dan to the early 13th century. It is a valuable source for the history of Denmark, but it is not a collection of fairy tales.
