Mother’s Nursery Tales

These are the stories your grandmother's grandmother knew by heart. Collected from across Europe and beyond, these twenty-four fairy tales have traveled through centuries to reach the child who needs them. Here are the tales that taught generations how to be brave (the girl who walks into the forest alone), how to be clever (the youngest son who always wins), and how to find home no matter how far lost. Pyle tells them in a voice that feels like a candle in a dark room - warm, steady, certain that the story will end as it should. Some are gentle as lullabies, some carry the strange wildness of old magic. Whether meeting a princess, a witch, or a talking animal, every tale offers that peculiar comfort only fairy tales provide: the knowledge that the world is strange and dangerous, but kindness and courage always find their way home.
