About us

Reading or listening to a fairy tale or kids story together is an intimate and priceless moment. It therefore is our mission to give everyone around the world free and easy access to our stories and we will continue to add new languages. All fairy tales are rewritten to use modern language and are compressed into 5-10 minute stories. The stories are read aloud by our passionate voice actress and can be printed and used for free (also in the classroom). We sincerely hope you will enjoy our website and will regularly pay us a visit for new fairy tales
