"Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in any truth that is taught in life" - Schiller

"I have always loved stories about giants, fairies, far away places and mythical beasts. The stories I love the most are steeped in cultural tradition. Stories passed down through the ages, before they were finally written down, go straight to the heart.

As soon as my children were old enough, I took them to the library. I read them folklore books. They loved listening to all the various Cinderella, hyenas in Africa and the Russian `Fool of the World' stories.

When my children grew up, my love of stories did not wane. Through the Internet, I collected tales from all over the world. I now have an online library of legends, myths and folklore. I can read myself a different story every night. Bed-time stories are not only for children. I have compiled an online collection of myths and folklore adults can appreciate. "
