The Fairy Tales Grown Up

  • Konstantina Kalliontzi

A mysterious oracle follows the birth of a child. The people of a country suffer under foreign occupation. A strange betrayal triggers unforeseen events. "The Lake Woman" stalks a young man. A girl's life changes after a matchmaking. No matter how old we grow, we never quit the child beneath. So, as we all used to love fairytales, it's time to get back to the things that revive the child beneath; under a new, grown-up-child point of view. The heroes of the fairy tales in this book follow the light or surrender themselves in darkness. Some define their fate, while others can't escape their destiny. Some are determined to preserve the things inside their hearts, while others change their very lives due to love or hate. Throughout the centuries, the fairytales have been both bright and dark. The same goes for "The Fairy Tales Grown Up", like for the real, grown-up world. But they'll always be carrying us away into worlds of magic.
