Once Upon a Time...
Exploring the magic and fantastical. We read traditional fairy tales, mythology, folklore, fractured fairy tales, retellings, new/original works, high and urban fantasy.
Kings, queens, princes, princesses, heroes, heroines, and fairy godmothers. Evil queens, black wizards, witches, warlocks, and evil stepmothers. Fairies, nymphs, sprites, unicorns, phoenixes, trolls, giants, dragons, ogres, and goblins. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, and happily ever after.
