In the opening scene of my last novel I opened with one person telling a story to another. Is there a reason that would not be advisable? It is the fundamental interaction between the two characters, one telling stories to the other, and they are both young adults (15-16). I thought it fit really nice, and after the tale ends, the two interact immediately, but I was just wondering whether any of you could give some feedback on whether that might be confusing. The story being told is very clearly a fairy tale/ fable, and not particularly long.
