むかし ある ところ に - Once upon a time?

[LindsayGrieveson9787]

I just started reading a Japanese children's book and was pretty happy when I (think) I understood this.

むかし ある ところ に - A place in the old days?
Basically, once upon a time, right?

[iMMichalski2620]

yes, and be aware of むかしむかし or　 むかしゝ which also means once upon a time.
