About Folklore & Fairy Tales

Long before books, stories traveled by firelight, whispered from grandparent to grandchild, shaped and reshaped with each telling. A giant might guard a mountain pass; a fairy might grant one perilous wish; a witch in the deep woods knew things no one else dared to know. These tales from every corner of the world share the same heartbeat: the ordinary brushing up against the extraordinary, and something changing forever.
