a letter from the editor


tell me a story.

from the rose-colored glasses of youth to the dark waters of adulthood, our 24 FAIRYTALE contributors have done just that. the stories and poems in this issue will leave you breathless, wonderstruck, and ready to re-read them over and over.

don't worry—these pieces won't be spirited away or turn into pumpkins at midnight. they're always here for you, like the land you've seen only in dreams.

all that's left to do is open the book.
