What Makes a Story 'Timeless'?

A story becomes timeless when it speaks to people in a way that feels true no matter how much time passes. Like a favorite toy, you love it now, and even when you're older, you'll still remember the joy it brought you. Timeless stories make us feel connected to others, even if they lived long ago.
