Isabelle Adriani, PhD in History and Fairy Tales, artist and journalist, will take you through space and time, back to the origins of enchanted fairy tales which are powerful metaphors for how to live a just life. Their origins are rooted in our shared history. From America, to China, to Europe, to The Middle East, these anthology attempt to uncover the origins of our world's most famous fairy tales. They break down cultural, societal and religious barriers and offer hope in facing our ongoing human struggle. Psychologists agree that fairy tales teach children (and grown-ups) how to navigate more effectively through our experiences. They preach discipline, patience, loyalty, determination, courageous action, and most importantly, how to attain our goals. They also demonstrate how unlucky outsiders, those who are ridiculed by society can, if they so choose, rise from the ashes to change the narrative of their lives. Hundreds of such stories, dating all the way back to ancient mythology and the origins of mankind, can be found in innumerable cultures all around the world. Our journey will lead us to discover the truths hidden behind the most beloved fairy tales of all times: The enchanting story of Cinderella, the talking mirror of Snow White, the mystery of Beauty and the Beast, the flying carpet of Aladdin, the magical powers of fairies, the legendary Sleeping Beauty, the untold secret of the mermaids, the unbreakable swords of ancient Chinese warriors, the glass slipper in Cinderella, and Rapunzel's golden braid. We all thought these were invented stories, but they are not. All of these people and things had a place in ancient history where they originated - in the real world. In this anthology about the historical origins of Fairy Tales we will look at princesses but not only. Many of these stories can be traced back to the collection of fairy tales first collected by the Brothers Grimm. Join Isabelle Adriani, a modern Sister Grimm as she will take you on the journey of a lifetime.
