Tom, Babette, & Simon
These stories were not written as a group, but rather at different times over the years. One of stories was written years ago when I was reading fairy tales to my own boys.
Fairy tales are a very ancient form of literature. I think they are less about magic then they are about dreams and ways we wish things would happen. They are hard to write, but wonderful fun when one gets them right. And who knows, they might--just--happen.
