“Once upon a time in a land far, far away…” is usually the way all good fairytales begin. Everyone loves these spellbinding stories because there’s a bit of wonder and magic in all of them. Fairytales and storybooks keep the spirit of childhood alive.

A fairy tale is a kind of folktale or fable. In these stories we meet witches and queens, giants and dwarfs, princes and princesses, dragons, ogres and talking animals. Wondrous and magical things happen to characters in fairy tales. Objects too can be enchanted; mirrors talk, carpets fly and pumpkins become beautiful carriages. These stories draw in the reader and invite you to relive your childhood memories and the wonder of hearing them for the first time.

Fairytales and storybooks come from many different cultures, but the human emotions such as love, hate, courage, kindness, and cruelty are universal and a common theme throughout the pages. One thing is for certain; the most beloved stories are when good prevails over evil, kindness reigns over cruelty and love overcomes hatred and everyone lives, “happily ever after.”
