Here are 37 unique fairy tales that will delight both adults and
children as they can be read and interpreted on many levels. Even
though these tales are fiction, we all know that they're really
not. Somewhere in a tale is a timeless Truth that will not be
denied. And that is why we love fairy tales so much. They haven't
got anything to prove because they are the proof. But if you are
looking for only sweet tales that end in joy and fairness, you may
want to pass this book by. Some fairy tales are simply "dark," and
that is because sometimes life is simply dark. Not always, of
course, but often enough. Sometimes the hero lives; sometimes he
dies. Fairy tales speak to the secret parts of us that we hide from
others, so if you are brave, you might meet yourself in one of
these pages.
