I've read in a children's magazine, and it has a title of a story called, The Real Fairy Tales. I feel that there is something not right with that sentence. And recently I asked my teacher, she said it was a grammatical term in english. Please if you can, find out what that grammatical term is.

Are you asking about "The Real Fairy Tales"?
"The Real Fairy" sounds like an oxymoron...it's a rhetorical figure of speech. Something like a "friendly argument" or a "medium large coffee", "deafening silence"etc. These are terms that contradict each other. Fairy is anything but real.
