Fairy tales for kids ages 3–8
Fairy tales are where most of us met our first castle, our first spell and our first dragon. They give kids a safe place to be a little bit scared, a lot amazed and very pleased when the smallest character turns out to be the cleverest one.
Our fairy tales are new ones, written for bedtime. The Kind Witch Hazel is a young witch in the village of Broomsville whose spells don't always go to plan. In Hazel and the Honest Mirror she finds a magic mirror that says everything out loud, and in Hazel and the Friendship Potion she learns that you can't brew a friend.
In The Brotherhood of Justice a knight, a wizard, a dragon and a skateboarding dwarf look after the kingdom of Stonebridge. The king's pants go missing on parade day in The Runaway Royal Pants, and a spell to make the castle look its best gives it the hiccups.
The classics are coming too: The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and more, with the famous plots kept, extra jokes added and gentle endings. Until then, try our dragon stories for more friendly dragons, or the bedtime stories for calmer nights.
